Aw don't be mad

I'm still impressed. Have you been there?

nope but I am good at patiently using image search engines for things like "bay islet africa"

I'm going to pretend that's deliberately fuzzy so you can't read the sign on the building.

No, she walked there.

Jakarta is correct!

I was, that's the view from my hotel window.

That's a tough one. I'd guess somewhere in Southern Spain but i can't place it.

i like this thread even though i don't know any answers

Bilbao? That looks more like how I think of the north of Spain.

Iโ€™m only vegetarian thankfully, but ate a lot of Gado-Gado

ShariVari, Thursday, 5 March 2020 12:04 (four years ago) link

it is bilbao, a city which seduced me p quickly. never had gado-gado but peanut sauce is always good eating.

remember ilx, no matter how darling and cosmopolitan this exchange is, both of these men are wedded to a soccer team whose star player yesterday waded into the crowd to have a fight after losing on penalties to

Always surprising to see how places you know fit together, when you're only used to seeing them from ground level.

Tim, Thursday, 5 March 2020 12:22 (four years ago) link

It's a place I need to visit tbh - having only been fleetingly twice, aged 6 and 17. Most UK towns and cities have some delight to them, barring a recent example which I won't name owing to a notable former ilxor coming from there

Not BA. That gull was a legend, hereโ€™s another.

Baku?

No to Baku and Odessa

Constanta?

Chekhov?

Frederik B, Thursday, 5 March 2020 13:45 (four years ago) link

All in the right general area but much more obvious, though that's possibly the least glamorous picture of a spectacular view you'll ever see.

ShariVari, Thursday, 5 March 2020 13:56 (four years ago) link

Zoom in on the spur of land in the background for a clue.

istanbul?

ogmor, Thursday, 5 March 2020 13:59 (four years ago) link

Correct!

is the other one a market selling live fish?

ogmor, Thursday, 5 March 2020 14:04 (four years ago) link

It is, in a sense

strangely hookworm but they manage ream shoegaze poetry (imago), Thursday, 5 March 2020 14:17 (four years ago) link

Yes!

median punt (gyac), Thursday, 5 March 2020 14:17 (four years ago) link

damn that was my guess too

cherry blossom, Thursday, 5 March 2020 14:17 (four years ago) link

Should have said it first time around. Instantly reminded me of the place

strangely hookworm but they manage ream shoegaze poetry (imago), Thursday, 5 March 2020 14:19 (four years ago) link

Possibly a little more difficult.

Guangzhou!

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 5 March 2020 14:26 (four years ago) link

Ok, not more difficult! That's correct.

ShariVari, Thursday, 5 March 2020 14:27 (four years ago) link

Tbf, I had to map several of the buildings visible here for an architectural tour/guidebook some years back. Otherwise it's a big old axis in a skyscraper city by night, and probably pretty tough!
