Geo Quiz + Geo Answer
Today’s Geo Quiz takes us to Burma or Myanmar.
Reports from that country say police have arrested an American who illegally entered the compound of the pro-democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi.
The Nobel Prize winner and opposition leader has been under house arrest for over a decade in Yangon.
That’s the former Rangoon — and also the country’s former capital.
Burmese authorities say this American intruder was caught after he swam across a lake near Suu Kyi’s home.
So — naturally we want you to name this scenic lake in the middle of Yangon.
And you need to think fast.
The answer to today’s Geo Quiz is Lake Inya, a scenic lake in the Burmese/Myanmar city of Yangon. An American was detained today by Burmese police under suspicion of swimming across the lake to enter the compound of the pro-democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi.
