QUIZ: Can you tell these international cities from satellite photos?

Think you learned nothing from geography?

TIME TO RECALL all that geography you learned in the two weeks before the Leaving Cert!

    7/10 but would get zero now because I don’t drive to work anymore, and when we do drive we have Spotify. I can’t believe how much time I wasted listening to terrible pop music…
