[Poll #518184]
I may have missed out some really obvious destination 'near' Australia; never sure as to the value of 'near' to use in that part of the world.
I never cease to be amazed at the number of huge cities in Indonesia whose names are not household words; Bandung's bigger than Liverpool, Ujung Pandang the size of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. And just how big places that you know as 'what's the capital of Sudan?' pub-quiz answers are: more than seven million in Bogota or Lima or Kinshasa; nearly six million in Khartoum, which I know only as a small desert settlement in a Flashman novel.
