On the BBC news website for Turkey - have a go at this quiz! I admit to not doing so well - I either knew the answer or guessed (7 /12) :-S

I found another quiz - a few questions are the same - with 10 questions. This one is more geographic.

Try it, I think it's nice!

Ouh 8/12 for the first one, 7/10 for the second (and some of those I guessed!).

A bit more time studying and a bit LESS time posting rubbish is required I think lol!

Oh honey, you should be congratulating yourself, not Joey. You remembered all those things correcty and so detailed that I think that if we gave you a paper, you would be able to draw Turkey's map with the mountains and the rivers in it.

Aferin sana kiz!

Thanks Sophie It's quite ironic though, my old geography teacher always shouted at me for never paying attention in his class and that I would fail miserably (ok he had a fair point about not paying attention in his class, hehe). mmmm I might print this off as evidence to show him he was wrong haha!
