5. Cambodia > Phnom Penh
6. Kazakhstan > Astana
7. Sri Lanka > Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte

Suppose that you cannot memorize "Pristina is the capital of Kosovo". To resolve this issue, imagine, in the midnight around 1:00am, one of your close friends calls you. She says, "My flight was about to crash by the pilot could save us."
You, "Where are you now?"
She, "In a cold desert."
You, "Where???"
She, "Let me ask ..."
You are anxious ...
She, "We are about 20Km of Pristina."
You, "WHAT? Where?!"
She, "PRISTINA"
You, "WHAT? PRISTINA! Where the hell's that?!"
She, "Let me ask ..."
You are wondering and anxious ... you think, "Pristina! Is it in Afrika?! Never heard of that!"
She, "Hello ..."
You, "Yeah ... hey ... where?"
She, "The capital of Kosovo!"
...
If you could imagine this story exactly and clearly you would never forget that Pristina is the capital of Kosovo.
Make stories that make more sense to you in order to memorize and recall abstract items!
