South Africa has three capitals. And to think, the United States only has one. Get with the program, US!

We have many more: Castroville [CA], the Artichoke Capital of the World; Gilroy [CA], the Garlic Capital of the World; Rayne [LA] the Frog Capital of the World; Traverse City [MI], the Cherry Capital of the World. I could go on, of course.

Amazingly, the full ceremonial version for Bangkok is
"Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam prasit"
It is in the Guinness book of records as the longest place name in the world.

Surprised so few got Cape Town. Okay in German it's Kapstadt, that's pretty close to it.

Probably wouldnt have got dublin if I hadn't had been there before.
Only one that slowed me up was cape town. By the way it was spelled i was thinking netherlands but couldnt come up with anything that worked. Then realized oh yeah, duh. afrikaans.
