It was lonely... you promised you'd write to me, but you never did... the months passed by, and I still thought of you every day, but you never called. I never got any letters from you.

So eventually, I started to lose faith... I thought you had been killed in that terrible, terrible war. Or maybe that you had forgotten about me. It's been so long, you probably found another girl over there... I never stopped loving you, but I didn't think you cared about me anymore, so welcoming you back just would have been too painful for me... I'm sorry. I'm glad you've come back home *sniff*

time for a new set of questions!

1) Which city is the capital of an island country-Kingston or San Salvador?
2) Which country has more islands-the Comoros or the Philippines?
3) Which country borders more countries-Yemen or Burkina Faso?
4) Which island is larger in area-Baffin Island or Hispaniola?
5) Which country is closer to the equator-Tanzania or Zambia?

Bonus question!

A city that is divided by a river of the same name was the imperial capital of Vietnam for more than a century. Name this city, which is still an important cultural center.

the score is
Shadow man-1/5
everybody else-0
