I like Jetpunk quizzes. They are my favourite types of quizzes.

When I do well on the quizzes, I think to myself, "Yes".

When I do poorly on the quizzes, I think to myself, "No".

JetPunk quizzes are the best of them all,

When I do well, I think "yes" just before the fall—

Aye, the fall! When I do poorly on a test,

I think, perhaps these quizzes are not the best.

For Stuttgart my first thought was the duck-hunting capital of Arkansas, then figured with a population of less than 10,000 versus half a million, the city in Germany might be a tiny bit more well-known.

That one always gets me. Unlike the other cities that have a namesake, but where all but the most populous one are incredibly obscure, Guadalajara (the original one, that is) is definitely a very well-known Spanish city.

And there are the dutch, bergen/bergen aan zee and bergen op zoom.

funny in a country that is nearly completely flat (bergen means mountains). Besides in the most southern appendage, where we border belgium and germany (achen). In the rest of the country the biggest "hills" might be the where one road is build to go over another. And the dunes I guess. Anything above 10 meter is high!!!

(Maybe that s why we are known for cycling, I cant imagine doing that in hilly places)

Been through Brno on a train, right hole, that was around the point where the police got on and shoved guns in everyones faces demanding to see passports... open borders at their best!

I have found travelling round Europe that you know you're getting into eastern Europe when every city you pass through has an old power station and a massive red and white chimney smack bang in the middle of the city lol

There are tons of Spanish place-names in the USA. Florida, Texas, California, and all the land west of the Mississippi were originally colonized by the Spanish. That's more than half the country.

I mean, we've also got the much better-known cities of Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco, among many, many others, and that's without even leaving California (a state that was, after all, colonized by the Spanish Empire for over 200 years before it became part of the US.)

doesn't have to be as difficult or expensive as people imagine it to be. Though I get around a lot and have only been to 5 or 6 of these (not sure about San Bernardino). My favorite was probably Odessa though Haifa and Nicosia are nice, too.

I've never head of it and I don't associate umlauts with Spanish.

In my mind, the umlaut is more the domain of German, Turkish, Swedish/Scandinavian and languages of that ilk. It actually served as a misdirection rather than cluing me in where it might actually be.
