Who Knew Geography Could Be So Fun

Via Grrlscientist, I stumbled across a site that makes learning geography fun. Really fun.

If you’re like most Americans, you’re knowledge of geography is probably embarassing. Mine is.

This site has flash based “games” where you attempt to locate the countries or states in different parts of the world. They have many different levels for each country or region that range from easy to difficult to ridiculously hard.

So the next time you meet someone from Burundi, don’t ask them where it is and then stare blankly at them when they tell you it’s south of Rwanda and west of Tanzania. Instead, ask them how the fishing at Lake Tanganyika is. (Okay, the game won’t teach you that much geography…)
