suva

Nilmar Honorato da Silva, Monday, 11 November 2013 16:57 (twelve years ago)

my first guess would have been india or sri lanka cos of the rickshaw but it doesn't feel right. somewhere in africa would be my guess, so i've only got like a million cities to go through.

Jibe, Monday, 11 November 2013 17:04 (twelve years ago)

closer to colombo than suva but a long way from both

addis adeba

Jibe, Monday, 11 November 2013 17:11 (twelve years ago)

fuck that is amharic script isn't it

glanced and thought it was dravidian based on first supposition (tropical with overseas indian population)

Nilmar Honorato da Silva, Monday, 11 November 2013 17:14 (twelve years ago)

this is in africa & that is a tuk-tuk. the above photo was taken just over a month ago which is the start of the ethiopian new year but it's not addis.

Nilmar Honorato da Silva, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 12:23 (twelve years ago)

architecture looks like it should be somewhere in the post-Soviet group of nations?

I like to think I have learnt a thing or two about music (Neil S), Tuesday, 12 November 2013 12:31 (twelve years ago)

Nilmar Honorato da Silva, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 12:34 (twelve years ago)

cheated too. steppe and mountains makes sense. v. much want to visit.

a strident purist when it comes to band-related shirts (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 12 November 2013 12:36 (twelve years ago)

steppe and mountains = mongolia? i know the names of two cities there but i'm quite confident it's neither ulan baatar nor erdenet.

That's an interesting guess, Noodle. But it is incorrect.

Hint 1: It's in the Southern Hemisphere.

c21m50nh3x460n, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 19:40 (twelve years ago)

dharamsala?

clouds, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 04:12 (twelve years ago)

India is in the Northern Hemisphere.

Hint 2:

You can see a bit of the architecture and the people.

I'll give one last hint and if no one can guess it, I'll reveal the answer!

miami

balls, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 04:43 (twelve years ago)

the "buddhist thangkas" sign made me think it was somewhere in sikkim

clouds, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 04:49 (twelve years ago)

southern hemisphere? i wanted to say somewhere in madagascar but the people don't really look malagasy. not in africa either i'd guess so south america, in the andes. is it in bolivia?

Jibe, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 04:50 (twelve years ago)

clouds, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 04:50 (twelve years ago)
