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.

Every time I try this I get 2 cities in and AOL shuts down. I have the latest version of IE.
It has never happened before and only on this site.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
