Guess the City

Ft. Lauderdale

Or perhaps its a very hot climate, where combination of fan and AC is required (suggested by presence of AC wall unit).

I think I found the smoothie cup. On a Nigerian shopping site, but apparently made in UAE. Not sure that helps:

I dunno with the Islamic looking book we could be in francophone and Islamic Africa.

Any chance of a second photo clue?

I'm wondering if that light/dark blue logo on the mousepad is something I've seen before but I really don't know

next to that ATM sign there's something with a regular E and a fancy B but that can be anything? Exchange Bank?

holy crap! Exim Bank, Uganda?

Tanzania, too

Djibouti too but I think that's all of them with this logo?

there can't be that many container ports in those three countries I would think?

I would guess the calendar is some global corporate thing not related to the city in question.

that Exim Bank logo isn't showing up anymore - here's another one just in case

exim bank operates in Tanzania, Comoros, Djibouti and Uganda. the passports on the desk (if thats what they are) don't match any of these countries.

the calendar being in french/english also doesnt match with the official languages of any of the four countries.

there are atm location maps for a couple of the countries but the lack of street view or any photos at all really makes it hard to pin down the exact one. you can cross reference the atm map against container port locations but none seem to match the calendar.

i would guess dar es salaam.

Djibouti International Airport.

woohoo! nice find!

What an assist what a finish.

ooh, and we're in a Hertz car rental building - do you have to leave your passport when you rent a car?

Man! So close! I clicked the 3 other pictures in Djibouti city because I was looking for the harbour/port but didn't click the airport one.

Good work, and many assists on this one I think! I'm glad I didn't have to do second photo as it was very close by that point. I love how when you list out all the clues the answer is right there (felt the same about Novosibirsk too, I'd kind of already described it without realising)

No one mentioned the YouTube videos on the monitor screen, I was pretty curious on those

the sunlight angle through the window will trouble me to the end of my days.

No other option than to go there yourself imho

have looked for African phone banking instruction videos but no dice

There seems to be a general consensus amongst visitors to Djibouti International Airport that it is the dirtiest international airport in the world. Or at least that the toilets are the dirtiest toilets in an international airport in the world.

Monday at the Streetview

Aldi and a burnt out mock tudor building, real england?

Not sure why but it feels like a coastal town

Ha Way The Lads

Seaham: https://goo.gl/maps/KELmkLRgyuPyqsQcA

that was fast

Is it a city?
I was looking all over Sunderland but sure we've had that already

Ha, Seaham it is. Nice simple one with the gate and aldi combination

A bit more background on the burned out building

https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/18594480.fraudulent-ebay-seller-made-250k-criminal-activity/

First one I've gotten, and it was indeed the gate and the Aldi that did it!

I was going to crop it at just "The Lads" originally

I couldn't read the "Ha" but "Way the Lads" was enough.

I can't even read that now I know what it is - you DO mean that graffiti on the right, right?

great work. the burnt building has indeed been demolished, as you can see on street view if you go down the road beside it ('back n terrace').

Guess the townlet

oooooh the fence

You can make out DUKE below THE LADS. It's the back of the Duke of Seaham pub.

Midweek Madness II

An older city in the US.

Yeah, that fire escape (?) at the front of the building made me think US as well - some kind of French quarter or euro district type deal?
This building we're in has annoyingly little on the windows (post offices, banks, train stations would have all kinds of stuff on there I would expect)

there's a map behind the open door near the camera but it isn't giving much away

I'm curious about the 2nd trash receptacle that's further away from the camera. I guess maybe it's for recycling?
