EPTAlso the definition of "city" in China gets weird. There's one that's technically a city but is bigger than some countries.
I know a stupid amount of trivia.

1 - what is the biggest religion in Thailand? Theravada Buddhism 2 - what kind of government does Thailand have? Parliament with King (Constitutional Monarchy I think it's called?), but currently under a military government (junta) after they seized power last year. 3 - what language do Thai people speak? Thai 4 - what countries border Thailand? (1 point per correct answer) Myanmar/Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia 5 - what is the main sport in Thailand? I think Football is the highest %-play right here 6 - what are Thai martial arts called? Muay Thai 7 - name one food from Thailand. Random rice dish no. 92 8 - what is the capital of Thailand? Bangkok 9 - what is Thai currency called? Baht 10 - what is one city in Thailand other than the capital? Phuket? Isn't that a beach/tourism city? | ||

IIRC there's around 160 of them or something like that. Also the definition of "city" in China gets weird. There's one that's technically a city but is bigger than some countries. 1) Absolutely. There's like 10 in the US if you don't count metro areas. If you count metro areas, you get to ~65ish. 2) Metro areas count too. | ||

Then more people came on but they were planning to play with a different team, and the people who had been around went AFK or at least stopped responding to prods and prompts. I get the feeling my schedule doesn't line up with most people's, so having me organize it is causing weirdness. | ||

Do you think my post missed words too? Oh, wait. That doesn't work in English, I'd have to fit "lack" in for the pun... whatever, it works in French. Hopefully it'll work even coming out of your translator. All planned! | ||

Cela ne fonctionne pas en anglais, je dois adapter "manque" dans le jeu de mots ... que ce soit, il fonctionne en français. Espérons que ça va marcher, même sortant de votre traducteur. Toutes prévu! I have no idea what translator you're talking about. I'm just hitting the quote button and replying to you. Perhaps if you have your page filtered into English it would solve this issue. | ||

How to contextualize my answers: I live in the city in Canada with the highest amount of immigration by percentage of population (>60% is first generation immigrants) and the majority of those people are from east, south, and southeast asia. Essentially, I live in an area where information that may be considered basic in many asian regions is more commonplace here than it is elsewhere in North America. Also I tried to convey when I'm underconfident in my answers so a lot of these are like semi-guesses. + Show Spoiler + 1.) I think it's Buddhism - I don't know what branch but I know it's not Zen Buddhism. 2.) Constitutional monarchy iirc - same as Canada 3.) Lots of languages given that it's not an ethnically homogenous region, but you're probably looking for "Thai"? 4.) Aaahhhh shit. My guesses: Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, +some island countries maybe? Is Sri Lanka close by enough to border? 5.) 6.) I'm not even sure what you're asking here so I probably don't know it. 7.) Spicy [colour] [any ingredient] curry. 8.) Bangkok. 9.) uh.... the euro? I don't know any SEA currencies. If I had to guess, I'd say something like [consonant near end of alphabet]+[vowels]+N (ex// yen/yuan/won) but that's just assuming sea currencies are historically and still related to east asian currencies which probably isn't the case. 10.) Chiang Mai! We have food here that's labelled as such and I'm aware that it's a city, but I don't know how the foods are related to the city.

I don't think there's a single thai restaraunt in aarhus, (as in actual thai, not just random asian food and calling itself thai.) Besides, how is it a failing of schooling systems to teach about a small country literally on the other side of the world... That's like, the least useful information i could think of for the average european~ | ||
