JuliaL49 has spread this nice little Traveler IQ Challenge – who gets more points pinpointing cities and landmarks with limited time on a world map. In this little competition, I just (temporarily? temporarily, I’m sure!) raised the bar a little:

EDL logo Today is the “European Day of Languages” – and there are many languages. Could you assign all the languages to the countries they are officially used in?
