i think it's fair to say this is one of those quizzes where you just guess everything and if you know more than about 20 then you're either chinese or you simply need to get out more

Not really. I knew 15 of them, because I just did some research on biggest ports yesterday. I guess 3-4 more.

You should accept "Pusan" as a spelling for "Busan." That's how it's most commonly transliterated.

Added that, although Pusan is outdated as of 2000.

They were still using Pusan more than Busan when I lived in Korea in 2007.

Except for a few universities with the name in it, "busan" is the one that is used. I also was in korea when the changeover was happening. Thought kyongju and gyeongju were two different cities because i saw both in writing :)

I've got it too. Always remember it as it has such a cool name. Maybe Kuala Lumpur should be allowed though. Technically incorrect but they're very close.

This was tough. I managed to get 7 of the top 10 including the top 4, but only 12 overall. That was good enough to place me in the 93rd percentile, but there were so many I guessed that I was shocked didn't make the list. I feel dumb for missing Busan and Antwerp.. I knew those two.

To put Shanghai's numbers in perspective, that single port gets almost as much traffic as every port in the United States put together.

The port of Long Beach is directly beside the port of Los Angeles. Unless you're a satellite view border fanatic you will never know where the man made line is between the 2.
Why they're ranked separately is way beyond me.
