You are correct!

And neither "munich" nor "cologne" exist. They are called MÜNCHEN and KÖLN....but *sigh* ... what should we do about it ...?
Well, it does belong to Germany, and their pronunciation and spelling are the correct ones, but the British always called it 'Heligoland', so that is sort of acceptable.

So...is it 'Peiping', 'Peking' or 'Beijing'?:rotfl:
