We answered at the same time, raging vortex. The next person can answer either question. As for yours, yes. I am very good at geography. US/North American and European geography, definitely. Asian, as well, except maybe a few of the "stans" I might mix up. Probably better than most on Central/South America, Middle East and Africa, etc (no offense to the etc). Major lifetime interest in all of this, and extensive travel.

Questions above (raging vortex's or mine).
