Countries in the World I

Ever since a friend told me about 'Nicaragua', I become so conscious about foreign countries so foreign that I find it fascinating. I plan to figure out how many countries I actually know and explore what I don't know.................and guess what the latter is most interesting.

So today I'm going to conduct an exercise on myself to see how many countries in the World that I could remember off hand..here you go (look, I don't google ok, this is pure genuine memory test). Ok lah, to be franked this is the second exercise I did on the same subject, the first time I got 46 countries hehe.

Ha..I think I can't think of anything further. That's it!. Well after cross check with the web, those marked in pink indicated discrepancies. 

Essentially, this is very interesting exercise and I got hook on it! It is very challenging as it seem like a geography lesson (phew I almost failed the exam during my high school), it reveal how much I know about the world. How many other countries are not known, I don't mean I know a lot and I do think many of these countries you've heard of which I may not but hey, I bet there are many countries seriously you've never heard of too! No, not from the list stated above, but from here.


Well, to make us look smarter, we should say, 'we might know these country situated at which continent at least', Don't bluff me that you know all okay.

Well, I couldn't explore in details on each of these countries as it subject to another interest to drive it further haha). Anyways this exercise shown how poor my geography is??!!! wtf.


See 'Countries That I Could Remember II'. You will find how poor you're about geography lol

So here is a world map for your reference (if you're dumb like me ><).
