Asian Countries & Capitals:

If anyone who is willing to start off “Quizzing” as a hobby/ an extra-curricular activity, I guess a good starting point would be to identify the capitals of the countries around world. This was the way I got myself started when I was studying at Grade 6, way back in 1995.

So following the same process makes me write about the capitals and currencies as a starting point to all of those newcomers into Quizzing.

Firstly, let’s look at the capital cities of the countries in the Asian continent. For your ease of reference I have displayed them segregating them into the region of Asia where each country falls into.

Now that we’ve identified the capitals in Asia, let’s make it a point to move on from here. Accordingly we could focus more on the capital cities to identify any attractions that are available in such capitals, the rivers that flow by those capitals etc.

I wish to discuss more on the capital cities of Asia in a later blog. Until such time do your own research and get yourselves updated!
