Day Two Hundred and Seventy-Six - City Wise

Kinda feeling like a crumb bum today with a migraine and stuff so I've got kinda a crumb bum thing for today. However, it is something that my dear readers can participate in so maybe that makes it slightly better/more interesting. Tonight I took a National Geographic quiz on Toronto. Apparently Toronto has been designated as one of National Geographic's Places of a Lifetime...which I find a bit incredulous as this city is dreadfully boring. I ended up getting 80% on the quiz which is much better than I would have predicted as I am dreadful @ geography and I don't really pay much attention to Toronto due to the aforementioned boring-ness.

If you would like to take the Toronto quiz you can do so here. There are many other cities featured. I took a few of the other quizzes - I did terribly on the ones for Tokyo and Venice [I have been to Venice, but not to Tokyo, though I do want to go]. I did really well on the ones for Paris and Rome [have been to Paris, not to Rome]. I'm still not sure why Toronto would be considered interesting enough to actually come some distance to visit...we don't really have anything here that you couldn't find anywhere else. Though tourists certainly do come here - I've always been too timid to ask them why when I encounter them.

You did better than I did. I only got 50%. (I got 70% on the London quiz and 63% on the Rome quiz.)
