Past the edit window – yes, I **knew** ahead of time T in Asia would be Tokyo; but damn, I **live** in Tel Aviv! 🙂

11. I thought about putting Tasmania or Tahiti, but that just wouldn’t be right. I have a feeling Tasmania will probably beat Townsville, though.

Huh, I was wrong about that, I’m glad I was. I guess everyone else googled for a city name like I did!

I didn’t realise Googling was so prevalent in this game (I haven’t played much before). I got the feeling from the way the rules are phrased (sort of “Google, if you really must”) that it was perhaps slightly frowned on, but I guess not.  
Next time, I’m straight on to Google 😃

I googled to check that Tasmania wasn’t also a city, since I was pretty sure it wasn’t. _Then_ I googled for an actual city. 😉

Yes, but Gold Coast is by far the larger part of that metro area (400,000 to 50,000 population). In addition, Tweed Heads is not incorporated as a city: it’s part of Tweed Shire, and the administrative centre of the shire is Murwillumbah – though there is a branch office at Tweed Heads.

(I know all this stuff partly because my brother-in-law works for Tweed Shire, and partly because I’ve been through the area many times.)
