In 5th and 6th grade, we had to know by heart all of Germany's states, their capitals, all major cities, all rivers (not the itsy teeny ones), all mountains... XDDD not to mention almost all countries with their capitals. @_@ (again, not necessarily places like Bhutan XDD but all slightly bigger ones)
