MODERATORS
I suck at geography lol
It said find a route from Kazakstan to Malaysia, my mind immediately went to Russia, then China, then Vietnam, then I got stuck, so I guessed Singapore (lmao what, I'm so dumb), then Laos, then Myanmar, then Bangladesh, then Cambodia... I think I exceeded 7 guess or something...
I forgot Thailand existed... 💀
Yeah I love the daily games community, but I certainly suck at this one. I never post my results.
Cool, thank you!

Personally I hate the snow/winter, but this site makes it look pretty at least.
