There are so many people here at TDR from different parts of the world, and I am curious to know which country you are from and what your capital city is and how far you are from it?

Great way to learn all those capital cities!

Okay so England, London and I am about 2.5 hours away on the train.

Hello Ally,

I’m from Toronto, which is the capital city of the Province of Ontario. Ottawa is the capital city of Canada. It’s roughly a 5 hour drive from Toronto to Ottawa (unless you’re speeding); although, they’re both located in the same province.

I live about 300 kilometres from the Australian capital Canberra. Very few people live in Canberra because it is nowhere near the coast and gets cold in winter. I live about 1 1/2 kilometres from the centre of Australia’s real capital - Sydney.
