A city full of jokes

More and more people choose to travel abroad, thinking that foreign scenic spots are very good. But some people who lack geographical knowledge sometimes can't remember other countries' capitals, and even make jokes. Some people mistake the capital of Australia for Sydney. Others think that the capital of Japan is Tokyo. Although Sydney and Tokyo are well known, they are really not the capital of the country.

First, the capital of Australia is not Sydney. Almost all visitors to Australia will go to the Sydney Opera House. As a famous attraction in Australia, Sydney Opera House receives many tourists every year. So the city of Sydney is well known, so it will be misunderstood as the capital of Australia. So, what is the capital of Australia? Canberra. Canberra's economy is not prosperous enough and its popularity is not high enough. It belongs to the second ladder city in Australia.

Second, the capital of Japan is not Tokyo. If you travel to Japan, you will definitely go to Tokyo. As a well-known city, Tokyo is very popular with tourists. Almost every year a large number of tourists go to Tokyo to see cherry blossoms. However, high popularity does not mean that it is the capital of Japan. Legally speaking, Japan has no legal capital. However, the current Japanese law stipulates the scope of the metropolitan area, that is, Tokyo and its surrounding areas. Do you feel a little strange? However, unlike other countries, Japan has not clearly defined which city is the capital.

Third, apart from Australia and Japan, some capitals often make mistakes. For example, most people think of new york when they mention the United States. Some people think that new york is the capital of the United States. However, the capital of the United States is Washington.

People always have the illusion that the more prosperous a city is, the more likely it is to become the national capital. Based on this cognitive error, many people will remember the country wrong and make jokes.
