Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. During my first ever work-related trip, I lived for four months in the city of Breda in the province Noord-Brabant. Less than 60 kilometers (38 miles) to the south you'll find the city of Antwerp. In which country did I stay?
2. A city I really enjoyed living in for about five months is located on an island in the St. Lawrence River in Canada. I had to brush up on my French from school before I went, since most inhabitants speak that as their first language. There is an ice hockey team called Canadiens and there used to be a baseball team called Expos. Which city is this?
3. My longest session abroad was in an Asian country where Westerners are sometimes referred to as "gaijin". I used the bullet train Shinkansen quite a lot, and sushi was a common dish for lunch. Where did I live for three years in the nineties?
4. While I have lived as an expatriate in a few countries, I have also done a lot of shorter trips. It can be frustrating to visit interesting and beautiful places, such as Ljubljana, and not get enough time to explore them. My three days there were nowhere near enough. To which country, formerly a part of Yugoslavia and the first to declare its independence, should I return?
5. The city and country the furthest away from my native Sweden that I have visited is Melbourne in Australia. In which Australian state do you find Melbourne?
6. When visiting one of Europe's more historical cities, I took the opportunity to see the Colosseum and the Fontana di Trevi fountain. My hotel was close to the Spanish Steps. Where did I go?
7. I have spent quite some time in megacities, among those the largest urban area in the southern hemisphere. (Or possibly second largest after Jakarta, Indonesia; reports vary, and it depends on how you count.) I lived there for two years and enjoyed every minute of it. Which city is that?
8. Of the more exotic trips I have taken is when I spent a week in a landlocked country in southern Africa. The capital is called Lilongwe, but I visited the largest town called Blantyre. The town is named for the birthplace of the Scottish explorer Doctor David Livingstone. Which country?
9. During a period of about a year, I worked permanently in U.K., but I went back home for the weekend once or twice a month. That means that I am very familiar with London's main international airport. What is the name of that airport, located near the M4 and M25 motorways?
10. When working in Bern, I could see the Alps in the not-so-far-off distance. The country where Bern is the capital prides itself on being neutral and is not a member of the European Union as most of its neighbours. Which is it?
