Easy ones (for people that have some capital knowledge aswell) colombo, manila, antanarivo, denpasar, copenhagen, douglas, and maybe kirkwall (clearly brittish, so it is just a matter of which island).
Have to admit, couldnt remember luzon though I knew what i was trying to remember, and didnt get bali... soo familiar but didnt click. I did get big island, newfoundland, tahiti, sumatra and gotland aswell though. But more guesses (newfoundland, sumatra and tahiti) and educated guesses for hawaii and gotland.
Hardsest ones (as in dont know the city or the island..) kyushu and hokkaido
Naha (Okinawa) is also pretty hard, and Kirkwall (Orkney) takes a lot of guesses (Wight, Jersey, Guernsey, Skye, Lewis or even Man if it wasn't already filled in under Douglas). I agree for the other ones, but if you remember the big four Japanese islands (Kyushu, Honshu, Hokkaido and Shikoku), it shouldn't be too hard. Okinawa isn't one of the big four Japanese islands, which makes it significantly harder.
'Kirk' is the Scots word for 'church' and derives from Old Norse, so even if you don't know where Kirkwall is, you should know to limit your search to the Shetlands, Orkneys or Hebrides.
Would have been stuck on 19 if an old girlfriend (surname, of course Anderson) hadn't once taken me to Gotland to search for her great-grandfather's grave. Missed the grave (found out later that generations back it was Andersson, a name as common as Smith over there) but found Visby to be the cutest town ever.
South-east of Australia? Anyway... NZ is not just one island. The biggest two are most known by North and South Island which is kind of general. I believe not a lot of people know their Māori-names.
Pretty rare on a geography quiz that both a clue and its answer are unknown to me, but that happened to me on this quiz a couple times. Time to do some internet searches.
Good quiz. I reckon another would make a fine addition, continuing the trend of greater difficulty. Some suggestions: Samarinda (Borneo), Davao (Mindanao), Jayapura (New Guinea), Kupang (Timor), Makassar (Sulawesi), Honiara (Guadalcanal), Port of Spain (Trinidad), Castries (St Lucia), Lerwick (the Mainland, Shetland), Longyearbyen (Svalbard), Victoria (Vancouver), Las Palmas (Gran Canaria), Valletta (Malta), Ushuaia (Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego), Stanley (East Falkland), Hadibu (Socotra), Haikou (Hainan).

I'm am Orcadian ;)
Those saying that Orkney isn't one island are correct, though. *Mainland* Orkney (sometimes just called Mainland) is, though.
Perhaps two is enough 😶
Would it be better to merge this with the first one so the difficulty is the same between the two?
