Not Manila - can't improve the resolution but could offer a second photo with people in it on request. But be warned it looks like a totally different city.

cuz it's too light to be 8am at this sort of the latitude, unless it has some strange time correction

Yep, that Vladivostok pic is already in this thread, I think I named every industrial town in Russia and surrounding areas before someone beat me to it.
That huge Santa in Ismael's one is freaking me out because I didn't even notice it until I zoomed in to try to read what it said on the end of the building.

left-hand drivers
griffons and the southeast Asian detailing
I might be wrong but I think these are all assumptions. The drivers may be on a one way; we have no proof that the person in the car is driving. The details on the front of the building aren't necessarily Asian at all, either. Speaking of assumptions, has anybody else assumed that this is a Victorian era train station? If it's 8PM and sunny still, I assume it's summertime unless that means it's the southern hemisphere, which might explain the Santa.

The left side of the street looks pre-war and the right looks post war.

And then there's the flags (U.S., something with a St. George's cross, and is that a Brazilian flag?).
But the people are too pale in the second photo. Lima, Peru?

Yeah, I had it pegged as a train station, but have now assumed it's a market hall.

That was the other thing I thought, too.

Not Lima. I have a third photo for emergencies, but I'll hold it back for now because it's a panorama and that might make it too easy.
