I did okay but not as well as I expected. I guess it's time for a refresher course. good hub.
Now we are cooking. I manage to get 9 out of 10 right :) Living in Asia have its advantage in answering this type of questions :D
It was a fun quiz. Although I have spent years in Asia, there is just so much to learn about one country that I have only covered two properly so far ... Thailand and South Korea (guess what one of my correct questions was! lol).
Thanks for SHARING.
very unique subject for hub alocsin and you have done justice with it.useful hub.
Wow... apparently I knew more about Asia than I originally thought I did.
This is refreshing and a great idea for Hubs to do, voted up!
Guess I had better go back to school! At least I am learning from your hubs. Voted interesting and useful.
A knowledgeable quiz! Geography was my school favorite subject. You made this learning more fun than school and filled it with far-flung facts and trivia which would surprise even the top geography pupils! Though I am an Asian, I scored mere 3! But never mind, I had fun studying the correct answers and hence my knowledge improved thanks to you! Well-done!
Thanks for SHARING. Useful & Awesome. Voted up and Socially Shared.
Great quiz.. Votes up and i also share it with others. Thanks
Didn't know I had that knowledge about Asia. :D
Love taking your quiz. It adds up to my knowledge. Voted up!

Throughout my life I have always possessed a keen interest in geography. When I was a younger I wanted to know where places were, what the people there were like, what the land was like, and a million other questions. But on you test I only got 5 out of 10. Got to pick up a geography book again! Interesting Quiz. Voting up and SHARING.
