Wouldn't Seoul be considered Asian too?

Wow! You're right! I blew it!

That makes me wonder about Jakarta too. I'm going to have to look this up.

Jakarta is in Asia I believe. It's certainly not one of the ones I'm looking for.

For the purposes of this question Istanbul is officially in Europe (given that one away!). One of your other three is right as well so you effectively have 2 of them now - the final one is in South America.

Oh boy, am I feeling stupid now. Unfortunately, I was looking at an incorrect source last night and first thing this morning and 2/3 above are correct. The 3rd is in South America.

Please ignore all my previous answers

I am now donning my hair-shirt and looking for my castigation equipment.

There are probably several different population lists and they may all be different. It's also possible that even though they are different they may all be correct too!

OK... next question;

In what sport do we find (and use) the following terms;
Glissade, Ballestra, Appel, Tierce , Flèche, Passata-sotto. and Foible ?

It was my favorite sport for many, many years. I was the Fencing Master for two different fencing societies in the US for a total of 20 years! Although I played many other sports, none touched my heart (no pun intended) the way the three weapons of modern Sport Fencing did!

Well done, ma'am. Take it away, Latinandgreek!

To my shame, I can only name two cities in Croatia so I'll guess at one of them; Split?
