What's The Largest World City You've Never Heard Of?

Yes, I totally stole this idea from another thread.

List of most populous world cities.

For me it’s #44, Ahmedabad.

I made it to 54, Pune.

Hehe Pune.

Some of the ones earlier than that I needed a second to think about due to the fact that we used a different variation of the name back in school. Like Yangon and Kolkata.

#14, Wuhan.

My mother was born in Pune.

Got to #50- Busan.

I’ve been to eight of the cities on that list.

#24, Dhaka

I only made it as far as Wuhan. After reading the linked Wikipedia article, I now know more! (Wuhan sounds like the Chicago of China: central west, major transporation hub… Ironocally I already knew about its famous bridge.)

I’ve been to 10, if you count changing planes in Berlin.

That was the first for me, too. Odd, since I must have flown over Wuhan twice (it’s almost directly in line between Beijing and Hong Kong).

I only made it to Wuhan, too. But, I’ve been to 12 of those cities. (13 if we’re counting changing planes.)

I made it through all 61… but I have been to 18 of them and landed at the airport of an additional two in transit (Mumbai and Nairobi).

I only made it to Dhaka. I get very confused, though, when they go around changing names on me.

Wuhan for me as well.

Wuhan.

Mumbai? Istanbul? Beijing? Ho Chi Minh City?

I’ve never heard of any of these. Are they near Bombay or Peking, perchance? :slight_smile:

Yeah, what’s with ‘Ho Chi Minh City’ anyway?
Where’s is Saigon?

:wink:

Whew, I don’t feel so bad then. I’d never heard of Wuhan either til just now. In the American cities version of this thread, I didn’t play along because I’m an American, and by the time I came across a city I didn’t know, I was down to city number bajillion.

I’ve not heard of Wuhan but I think I’ve heard of every other city on the list.

Wuhan

It was Contantinople now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople. So, if you’ve a date in Constantinople, she’ll be waiting in Istanbul. Why’d they change it? I can’t say. That’s nobodies business but the Turks.

Wuhan for me. I though Wuhan was a province, not a city.

Wuhan.
