    Not to give an excuse to this, but you'd be shocked to know how many people think that they're coming to Brazil when they go to Buenos Aires. Also, most people think that Brazil's capital is Rio de Janeiro (it's Brasília, btw). Geographic education in school is terrible in most countries. I was born in 1971 (so, just after the Liberation war), and I remember clearly learning that Bangladesh is in India in school. Schools are slow in changing the information they pass to their kids. After this, we often don't learn anything new. So, don't be shocked if in ten or twenty years people still make the same mistake. BTW, Brasília became Brazil's capital in 1960 (almost 10 years before), and the entire, huge city was built in 3 years, in an astonishing work of architecture and engineering.  How many people know that?

                Ok it seems that we are both right because if you look at the right side of the page of the link you gave it to me you will see "Canberra (or Melbourne)" so they are the same city with different names.

                          You have twenty Million Australians thinking what a fool yau are...and believe me, they like a fool. CANBERRA (ACT - Australian Capital Territory)IS the capital of Australia. Melbourne is Melbourne....not CANBERRA Sydney is expensive to live in. :sigh:

                            No. The capital is Canberra[^]. Melbourne is the state capital of Victoria, not the capital of Australia.

                                "The city is located at the northern end of the Australian Capital Territory, 280 km (170 mi) south-west of Sydney, and 650 km (400 mi) north-east of Melbourne." If they are the same place, then how is it 400 miles north-east of Melbourne?

                                        like the above post we find out that we are both right because if you look at the right side of the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canberra[^] you will find just above the map you will see "Canberra (or Melbourne)" so they are the same city with different names.

                                          Hey Boukh, I really'd love to go on with this "yes, it is - no, it isn't"-nonsense-game, but the weather's great and therefore I am going out now enjoying the sun. Have a nice day, I will check on the result of this nice little "discussion" later. Bye.
