It is a bit on the tiny side.
I could hardly get my cursor onto Sri Lanka, let alone pinpoint Colombo.
Some of the provincial cities of South American countries and Central Asian republics can be a bit tricky to locate......
Still, it's 'educational', I suppose. Perhaps our American cousins might find it informative, given their acknowledged lack of awareness of the big wide world.

I was asked which state Eire is in; later I heard an American asked where in the USA Marrakesh is. Both questioners were merkins - the latter was, at the time, the senior vice president responsible for international business in one of the largest New York banks.Richard Ruck wrote:Still, it's 'educational', I suppose.

What happens if a politician drowns in a river? That is pollution.
What happens if all of them drown? That is solution!!!

Plenty, but nothing to do with geography or surfing the net Mary !
