Question 1 of 10
1. The first place we walk by is a furniture store. I look in the window and say, "I've never been in that place. All it sells are regal furniture and Baltic antiques, and that's not really my style". We continue on our journey.

Answer: (European nation; its capital is found in a SINGLE WORD above.)
Question 2 of 10
2. We now come across a fruit vendor, where I decide to buy a bag of fresh pears. As I gorge one down, I remark, "This pear is so juicy. It's just what I needed". I thank the vendor, "Merci", and we go on.

Answer: (European nation; its capital is found in a PHRASE above.)
Question 3 of 10
3. I now point out a parking lot. "And over there was where my South American friend Monty videotaped one of his movies for a film class," I reminiscently tell you. I suddenly snap out of my nostalgia, and we keep walking.

Answer: (South American nation; its capital is found in a PHRASE above)
Question 4 of 10
4. To my surprise, I find that a new place has come up. I exclaim, "A new deli! Well, I guess it was about time that old dry cleaners shut down. There are two or three others on this street alone." I shrug my shoulders, and we move on.

Answer: (Asian nation; its capital is found in a PHRASE above)
Question 5 of 10
5. We then walk by a coffee shop. "They have the best coffee here," I inform you. "It's too bad, though. I used to know a man from the Middle East who worked here that always gave me crazy discounts, but I'm pretty sure he got fired". We decide not to stop and instead go forward.

Answer: (Middle Eastern nation; its capital is found in a PHRASE above)
Question 6 of 10
6. We now cross a street. I point out the street we're crossing and tell you, "If we take a right here and walk about ten blocks, we'll reach a river. This street turns into a bridge. Town Hall is actually on the other side, but it's really not worth it; believe me. All we'd see along the way are boring old apartment buildings. Let's just keep straight". And our journey proceeds.

Answer: (Caribbean nation; its capital is found in TWO SEPARATE SENTENCES above)
Question 7 of 10
7. Across the street a large museum towers above the other buildings. "Our town's museum used to have tons of great exhibits," I inform you. "It used to be much better, but about 15 years ago a fire broke out and burnt down part of the building. Sadly, their prehistoric section has just never been the same". We direct our eyes back forward, and the tour carries on.

Answer: (European nation; its capital is found in a SINGLE WORD above)
Question 8 of 10
8. To the right, we pass by a gun shop. I comment, "Anyone in town who wants a gun for whatever reason comes here. Hunting is fairly common around here. I remember I had one friend named Jason who bought an old-fashioned musket from the 1600s. I guess they really have it all here!" We keep walking.

Answer: (Middle Eastern nation; its capital is found in a SINGLE WORD above)
Question 9 of 10
9. As we approach another intersection, we encounter a run-down mosque of all things. "I've never understood why that mosque is there," I mention. "I almost never see anyone walk in or out of it. And it looks ready to collapse, too. I swear, it gives Islam a bad name!" Instead of going straight, we make a right at the corner.

Answer: (Middle Eastern nation; its capital is found in a PHRASE above)
Question 10 of 10
10. Now in a residential area, I stop in front of a house and walk up to the front door. I say to you, "And last but not least, this is my house. It's about time we stopped, anyway. You're welcome to come in for a while and have a bite of lasagna. It was fun roaming around town, wasn't it? It never ceases to bore me at least!" I unlock the door, and we head inside.

Answer: (European nation; its capital is found in a SINGLE WORD above)
