it's not kobe, there are not open fields that close to the city center. downtown kobe looks nothing like that. the tiered hotels are not a japanese style.

Also, I see no shanty town, which I'd expect to see if the country was poor because of all the unused land

Ismael Klata, Friday, 17 October 2008 21:54 (seventeen years ago)

a lot of things could be out of the frame: shantytowns, a central tourist area, etc

jergins, Friday, 17 October 2008 21:57 (seventeen years ago)

I can't find any coastal city in Mexico or Cen America that is both as large and as hilly.

xp true

Granny Dainger, Friday, 17 October 2008 21:59 (seventeen years ago)

this part of town could be a hole

Hualien City is similiar but not quite.

Jarlrmai, Friday, 17 October 2008 22:40 (seventeen years ago)

i thought i was onto something with Hobart, but nope

Granny Dainger, Friday, 17 October 2008 22:52 (seventeen years ago)

is it Penang / Butterworth Malaysia ?

jergins, Friday, 17 October 2008 22:57 (seventeen years ago)

i don't think so. there's not two big green fields seperated by a waterway near the shore.

Granny Dainger, Friday, 17 October 2008 23:47 (seventeen years ago)

this is frustrating

jergins, Friday, 17 October 2008 23:49 (seventeen years ago)

To answer Ismael I'd say most of the points are correct except this one

- I'm guessing a population of around 300,000- I'm guessing a population of around 300,000

I think its population is more like 100,000

i feel like im running low on cities i can think of to post.

69, Monday, 20 October 2008 13:59 (seventeen years ago)

Great, that means it's even less likely that it's somewhere notable xp.

I thought of a reason for the crazy density among the woodland left-of-centre. I think the forest is on higher ground than the buildings, so that the high-rises are in narrow, shallow canyons snaking back from the main city. Don't suppose this'll jog any memories?

Ismael Klata, Monday, 20 October 2008 13:59 (seventeen years ago)

Not A Coruna, in Galicia?

Zelda Zonk, Monday, 20 October 2008 14:13 (seventeen years ago)

alternate view of 91

cherry blossom, Monday, 20 October 2008 14:29 (seventeen years ago)

almost has to be japan, korea or Taiwan

Dead Cat Bounce (Ed), Monday, 20 October 2008 14:32 (seventeen years ago)

four weeks pass...

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 14:21 (seventeen years ago)

Bradford?

Ed, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 14:24 (seventeen years ago)

Actually I think it is Keighley

Ed, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 14:25 (seventeen years ago)

Correct first time!

Are you going to tell us what 91 is first?

Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 14:30 (seventeen years ago)

Oh yes!

91 is here - you should be able to see the distinctive shape from this

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 14:35 (seventeen years ago)

Well that's a relief. You have no idea how many hours I spent gazing at that photo, hoping the Eiffel Tower or the Pyramids would suddenly emerge into view

Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 14:46 (seventeen years ago)

Ha sorry. I know it was kind of an obscure one but people were successful at getting all kinds of obscure ones and I thought the shape kind of distinctive

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 14:48 (seventeen years ago)

Is 94 Charlotte?

caek, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 15:29 (seventeen years ago)

98=Roanoke Virginia, from Mill Mountain!

P.S. Hi dere!

doo dah, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 16:34 (seventeen years ago)

damn. i was checking everything likely in New England and the mid-Atlantic, and stopped just short, at Lynchburg.

gabbneb, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 16:40 (seventeen years ago)

98 is indeed Roanoke, well done! Surpisingly recognisable and distinctive perhaps

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 16:55 (seventeen years ago)

I grew up there! More recognizable with the star, perhaps ;)

doo dah, Tuesday, 18 November 2008 17:11 (seventeen years ago)

one month passes...

99. Ok so its hardly a city but I'm sure someone will get it!

new hope, pa?

909090909 Rivethed Brikkchin Reverk now DANZ (Mackro Mackro), Friday, 9 January 2009 16:34 (seventeen years ago)

It isn't - but that is a very good guess!

cherry blossom, Friday, 9 January 2009 16:36 (seventeen years ago)

91: Valdez, Alaska?

Eazy, Friday, 9 January 2009 16:43 (seventeen years ago)

Oh, wait, I just saw the first 91 photo, and now I says, Halifax?

Eazy, Friday, 9 January 2009 16:45 (seventeen years ago)

I'm guessing it has to be in the U.S. Right-side driving + use of word "State Law". Then again, maybe some provinces use the word "state" for sign purposes?

909090909 Rivethed Brikkchin Reverk now DANZ (Mackro Mackro), Friday, 9 January 2009 17:40 (seventeen years ago)

and you know, american flags. minor details.

101: Glossop? It's not Bath is it?

caek, Tuesday, 20 January 2009 13:42 (seventeen years ago)

Closer with the first guess. Wildly wrong with the second!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 10:18 (seventeen years ago)

I said it's not Bath! : )

Uh, Harrogate?

caek, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 10:21 (seventeen years ago)

A bit too hilly for Harrogate!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 10:22 (seventeen years ago)

#100 is hard - I don't even know what to guess at

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 10:23 (seventeen years ago)

I don't actually know what Harrogate is like, but the photo seems a bit posher than a lot of the dumps I'm thinking of.

caek, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 10:24 (seventeen years ago)

101 looks a bit like Hebden Bridge to me.

Tim, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 10:25 (seventeen years ago)

I was going to say Wakefield, yeah

caek, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 10:25 (seventeen years ago)

bah, you got it

caek, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 10:26 (seventeen years ago)
