    Asia City Quiz

    The city quiz is back and it has moved continents. Here are 26 cities (yes, all 26 letters are covered), all from different Asian countries. As I thought we might all be a little less familiar with Asia, I would say that they are all places you have all heard of (with one possible exception) (the exception is one particular city, rather than one particular OTFer). I haven;t tried to be quite as obscure with the pictures as well. Some populations are difficult to ascertain because of what constitutes the city and what is the metropolitan area, but nearly all of them are well over 500,000 (it may in fact be all of them)

    It;s possible I've made it too easy, but we'll see

    Ashgabat
    Bishkek
    Chiang Mai
    Dhaka
    Erbil
    Faisalabad
    Gaza
    Ho Chi Minh City
    Idlib
    Jakarta
    Kathmandu
    Lucknow
    Muscat
    Nur Sultan
    Osaka
    Pyongyang
    Qom
    Riyadh
    Sa'ana
    Tashkent
    Ulaanbaatar
    Vientiane
    West Jerusalem
    Xi'an
    Yangon
    Zarqa

        Ashgabat (which I was looking at the other day for a completely unrelated reason)

                    No, I've been to and worked in a fair few, and spent a month in one (though I think a month is too short to say "lived in". I;m not sure where the cut off is. 3 months?)

                      Ashgabat and Qom are correct to start us off

                                B is probably Bishkek with those mountains behind.

                                  Oh, and Pyongyang, obviously, with the Ryugyong hotel

                                    X is Xi'an and I think that H is Ho Chi Minh City

                                    Vientianne for V

                                    Apologies for the scattershot answers

                                      A whole lot of yessing

                                      (Bishkek was the one I spent a month in. In bloody January)

                                          T I think is Tashkent. I want to suggest Doha for D but it would have to be an odd view, looking back from the modern financial skyscrapers? They do like to light it up at night.

                                                Ulaanbaatar, Tashkent and Riyadh are correct. Not Doha (don't think Doha has a river. Not one of any size anyway)

                                                  And Sa'ana is correct too. Sadly I imagine it doesn't look much like that now
