What's wrong with me this morning... can't believe I forgot the name of the Han river. It's so easy and I used to live right by it.

I do. The only reason I got Kiev on this go-around is that I happen to be in Kiev this morning. But I'm also pleased I remembered Seoul.

But... it's right there in the name of the city. Bridge across Cam, apparently.

I accidentally typed "Cambodia" for Phnom Penh, but i got stopped, and I got the right answer for Cambridge! HA! Also, Warsaw, Poland, is located at the point where the Vistula and Bug rivers meet. Just FYI

Not exactly. Bug flows into the Narew which joins with the Vistula ~20 km northwest of Warsaw.

It's an estuary, not a river. But then, arguments are made that the Hudson is an estuary up to Albany, while others argue that the Hudson is a fjord.

You should also accept Dnipro, the Ukrainian name for the river, or Dnepr, the Russian name for it.

I tried Dniepr and Dnepr and Dnipr and but nope. That second e? Needs more alternative spellings.

I think I've only seen the Ukrainian spellings since I'm here in Ukraine and it's the first I recall hearing about it... but somehow I got the right answer trying different variations of spelling.

Still no dnjepr, had to try several things before something got accepted. I think dnepr was the one.

Recognize st. lawrence as st. laurent. That's how people in Montreal and the city call it.

I agree, I live in Montreal and the local name is indeed St-Laurent.

To be super pedantic, you should spell it "Washington, D.C." with the comma for the same reason there's a comma after Cambridge
