6 candidate pairs:
Taipei (Taiwan) — Asuncion (Paraguay)
Bangkok (Thailand) and Phnom Penh (Cambodia) — Lima (Peru)
Montevideo (Uruguay) — Seoul (South Korea)
Bogota (Colombia) — Jakarta (Indonesia)
-- Suva (Fiji) — Timbuktu (Mali) -- Timbuktu is not the capital, just a well known name, for some reason...
