Title: Where In The World Are We?
Post by: brick157 on February 02, 2009, 04:34:49 PM
Let's play "Where In The World Are We?".  Here are the rules:

1. The image must be of a location somewhere in the world with a distinguishing feature that is unique to that location.  It can be a city, town, monument, park, etc.  It can include a festival or an event.
2. Correct answers are worth 5 points
3. Wait for confirmation from the person who posted the image unless you are absolutely sure.
4. Call for a proxy if you cannot post an image, however you should post if you guess.  
5. If someone proxies for you, you cannot guess on that posted image.
6. Post and update the name listing and code.

***After your guess has been confirmed as correct by the original poster, you will have 60 minutes to post a picture or ask for a proxy.  Any player is entitled to proxy for you. 2 points are awarded for a proxy.  You may not guess on your own proxy.  If you have no intention on posting a subsequent image after your correct guess, please withhold your guess.***

N.B: Staff reserved the right to update this game if proof has been added by the member guessing, or with their own if necessary, if the game hasn't been answered within one hour of the correct guess.  This is to ensure that the games flow freely even if people are playing from differing timezones.  It also means you can post when you don't have time to answer, with the knowledge that one of us may take care of it for you.

I have so little time these days that I really struggle at this game now. There was a time I could spend an hour or 2 sniffing around for the answer and think nothing of it. 

I really need to chill out for a while.

This is by far the more time consuming game of all.

And that's why I always played it.  I used to have most of my days free and had something to chew on so to speak, but now, even this evening I didn't get home from work until 9pm - and it's the sabbath!! (for me at least that is).

Well at least I had enough time today to source some African capitals.  I'm just lucky that it wasn't a country beginning with "Z" otherwise I would have surely timed out.

Yamoussoukro, C?te d'Ivoire?

I thought the first 6 didn't look very "Greek", which might have made it tougher for you :)

Actually I thought it was Greece with the 1st post but the 2nd threw me off, yes.

The next one's an easy one for a change.  :)

Tikal covers an estimated 60 square kilometres (23 sq mi), much of which has not yet been cleared, mapped, or excavated.

Before I chose this city I thought Rostock and Warnem?nde were different cities but according to wiki it's a district of Rostock: Warnem?nde is the seaside part of Rostock and a major attraction of the city. 
Looks like a beautiful city indeed.

A friend of mine came home one day while I was playing this game and ask me to post this city. I didn't do it until now bc I think it's going to be a little difficult. But every time I see her she can't stop nagging at me about doing it so here it is:

I only get 20 minute hits (if I'm lucky) to solve this game now, although I still end up spending quite some time when accumulated.  When I had hours at a time I could get much nearer solving some of the tricky ones, even without my glasses.

That's a very good call, I thought the images were too crappy to have been much help and I was going to look for some better to add - saved me a job tho'.

Right country.  Name is related int "concept" too.
Title: Re: Where In The World Are We?
Post by: smokester on August 01, 2011, 05:41:16 AM
This one could prove interesting.  I can't see it being Conception Harbour if you are saying that the word "concept" is part of the answer (not sure when you meant to be honest), so it could be Trinity Bay?
Title: Re: Where In The World Are We?
Post by: dweez on August 01, 2011, 06:50:26 AM
No, not "concept".  I didn't mean to confuse.  I just meant that "Conception" is interesting as a name and the name of this place is just as interesting and has a name that is sort of in the same general idea of it.

I know I'm confusing things but I'm trying not to just give it away.  I'll try and find more pics to post.

The odd thing is, 95% of what I post here I come across while looking for solutions to yours. So I figure they must be findable if found them so to speak, but I can never quite remember what I was looking for to have come across them?

Of course you're right and there was much more to post for this one for another low populated place.

I know the feeling! That's the beauty of this game: looking for stuff you come across beautiful places you didn't even know existed.

The first image looks like the city gate of Metz in France? But I'm not entirely convinced.

It is indeed Metz! The 2nd one is L'Opéra and the 3rd is from the Quartier Imperial.
Looks like there are many others things to see in this beautiful city.

You're right of course.  Sorry about the bunnies but I usually quote my last post and increment the image numbers.  In this case I hadn't noticed there were 4.

Well, quoting from smokester rules: "1. The image must be of a location somewhere in the world with a distinguishing feature that is unique to that location.  It can be a city, town, monument, park, etc."  :)

And yes, it's the Genghis Khan Statue complex in Tsonjin Boldog, Mongolia.
Quite impressive, isn't it?

My Piano teacher was Hungarian and he used to tell me that their language was unique and probably a nomadic tongue. That said, I now realise that "bánya" is actually from Slovak so it is consistent.

Nice triple-arch canal bridge btw.

Technically it's one of the Aeolian Islands.

I have just had a friend go back there offering an open invitation to come and stay.  So quite possibly next year I'll take him up on it, although I actually plan to get nearer to you XT in the Caribbean.  No doubt you'll be able to hear me shouting at the kids when I get there, as I'll be near enough to hear in St Lucia.

Technically that would be Italy but even if they weren't the people still wouldn't be Sicilian as they are Eolians (and a large population of Calabrians).

Cadaqués, Spain?

I'm kinda proud of finding this as I worked in reverse (googled: smallest spanish towns) and got this page:

http://www.in-spain.info/top20/small-towns-in-spain.htm

It only took a few mins that way.

It is a very balanced island with plenty to see that is both natural and man-made.  But i particularly like it because of the attitude of the people there.  There are parts of the Caribbean that I daren't set foot in.

Luton is considered a bit down market by Londoners, probably because of Lorraine Chase.  But it has a truly rich and remarkable history dating back 6000 years or something and doesn't really deserve all the bad press.

Darn! I didn't mean to post the aqueduct in the 1st set!! It was supposed to go next alongside the amphitheater. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to find pics where the sea couldn't be seen.  ::) ;D

Yes, it's indeed Caesarea Palaestina aka Caesarea Maritima.

Well done!! Not because I thought I could trick you into think this was Germany but because many cities in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina look like that (Canela, Blumenau, Joinville to name a few). Big German immigration there. I thought I had to show the Cachoeira do Caracol.  ;D

Nope, it was completely intentional as it was a ruse to direct you toward the Caribbean. I hadn't thought of Gooling 'Creole+clocktower', that was just me being a plonker and I'm not sure there's a cure for that.

Answer whenever it suits dear.

Don't feel bad: I would have found it anyway cause that's not what I Googled.

I Googled "clocktower+crown" and got it on the 2nd page.

The thing is it does says Seychelles.

Victoria, Seychelles?

A friend of mine told me about this place. She has some wealthy Italian friends that own a "boat" and they took her to Croatia, Montenegro, etc. I wonder if I can make friends with them too.  :D :D
Here's some more. The last pic is Sveti Stefan, about 3 miles from Buvda.

Italy is really screwed even after the debt auctions. They need political stability before the economy can even begin to be addressed (long term), but I fear it would fail a long time before that.

If European countries were balloons, this year you'd hear a lot of "pops".

Just how many temples does one town want to have? There seems to be more temples than people in that place, which must make it fun to photograph.

Construction is continuously going on at some location. The family believes that if they stop the construction of temples, it will bring bad fate. This is the reason why some of the temples are not 100% finished, and construction is on-going, albeit at a slow pace.

Next post's under construction too.  ;D

Yup.  I thought I'd get an Argy city in while XT is away. As if this game isn't easy enough for her as it is :)

I only realised recently that Flo Rida came from Florida.  That's probably because I had only really heard his name and not seen it in print. A bit corny in my opinion.

Thaknek it surely is. Quite a big city but few other landmarks apart from that temple.

Kanji characters are a clue in themselves.

You keep asking these questions about me blurring things. Most of the times I don't think much about it and I do it just in case. It just takes me a few seconds.

I know some Kanji (although Hiragana and Katakana are easier for me), but I can't see them in the pictures.

That is actually Katakana and not Kanji.  Katakana is primarily used for foreign words like coffee and cake as they do not exist in the Japanese language.  That said, I'm not why they'd spell Sapporo like that - possibly because of the beer?

Sapporo, Nihon?

I'm a complete ignorant of the Japanese language. Probably of everything Japanese I'm afraid. But I've tried Sapporo beer.  ;D

I'm a complete ignorant of the Japanese language. Probably of everything Japanese I'm afraid. But I've tried Sapporo beer.  ;D

Oh come on, you must have tried sake?

I take it the Argentinian government had no interest in a Japanese treaty like Brazil's?

Yup, a long, long time ago. I don't even remember its taste.

Are you trying to ruin my evening mentioning Argentinian governments?  :D

About the last one... It looks like Vannes, France (http://www.panoramio.com/photo_explorer#view=photo&position=295&with_photo_id=11891361&order=date_desc&user=626592)?

You're right about the city but I am going to watch Grimm right now so I'll either score later or in the morning.

^ Corrected my typo - I was very tired and weary last night.

Thanks for the score update again XT; I owe you a bottle of vino or 2.

That place looked very Caribbeanesc but that coat of arms does not exist as far as I know (or that I could find).  The Pacific route did yield Nauru but I'm not sure how the city system works there.  Is it Yaren?

I think it is so small (pop = 9,322) Nauru would suffice.

I don't know either but it's definitely Nauru.

"Income from the mining of phosphate gave Nauruans one of the highest living standards in the Pacific and the world."

Apparently that's not the case anymore.

I think so too so I'll just put "Nauru" on the list.

Country or capital will do, as the population is virtually the same.

Geez, I can't believe how I found this! I was searching in Greenland and I got sidetracked by something and then voilà! Remember the TV show Connections? Just like that.

I often found answers to this game a long time after I'd given up looking, by investigating something interesting I fell across and finding a reference to the original place in question.  Or by clicking on a couple hundred pages of images until something popped up (I call the latter my 'brute force' method).

When I said country I really should have said "archipelago or capital" as it is part of a much bigger country's sovereignty, although this place's history is quite separate.

You wanna resurrect it ?

This one was becoming stretched even before it was abandoned.

I thought it might be better to have a name that river or something, whereby you could use the similar landmark type clues, only those would have to be along the river somewhere. A final clue could be the country.

So Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santiago_de_los_Caballeros).
