Oh boy...very few points for me today unless I'm a good guesser.

1. I am a self confessed geography moron. I felt the need to say that before I say...Cairo

2. Ansel Adams

3. Tern (or is it Ern?) - just as bad with birds as geography! Trying to remember all the days birdwatching with my grandmother!!

4. I think Hyundais come from Korea? So that's my guess! It's sort of geography, so see # 1 above! :)
