I didn't guess the city, zelda zonk did, I'd never even heard of it!
I just went to a satellite map of the city and went to where the water was

Bit of a cheat really. I put the pic into Google lens which threw up other pics of watch towers, one of which was remarkably similar looking...
I don't have time right now to post a pic, if someone else wants to have a go you're welcome, otherwise I'll post something tomorrow.
Love this long running game btw, thanks to cherry blossom for keeping it ticking over...

I snipped those two distincitve tall buildings and put them into Google Lens, it was the first hit
I'm not so into setting these so someone else can kindly proceed

Hmmmm, is Google lens ruining our game? I suggest the next person who puts one up checks first that there's no obvious google lens giveaway

Other than the previous two cities, I feel like this hasn't played much of a role? Keighley took 4 photos, and feels like most of the previous cities took some time to get also
― Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Monday, 7 November 2022 09:43 (one year ago) link
For the most part it feels uncommon for a city to get guessed quickly, these being something of an exception. Maybe because two in a row?
― Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Monday, 7 November 2022 09:44 (one year ago) link
Still seems like a bit of a cheat to just go 'computer, where is this city?'

Well google lens is certainly no help! Pretty thin selection of beer in this cafe. The balloons give me an Asian vibe but any script I can see looks Latin. The packets of stuff on the counter look a bit Italian.
― Zelda Zonk, Monday, 7 November 2022 11:26 (one year ago) link
The window appears to say gelado or perhaps helado - portuguese/spanish?

the Pilsen beer brand is Paraguayan

The S to the right of the fridge is the logo of the cafe.

(on the other hand it's also ripped off from the Sistema Espresso logo so this might be a dead end)
― Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Monday, 7 November 2022 11:47 (one year ago) link
nope, it appears to be a Spanish (I think) brand of Italian coffee https://www.esecafe.com
― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Monday, 7 November 2022 12:00 (one year ago) link
Found an importer and seller in Paraguay, so more chance of that being there than the beer making it out. Plus I think the window says Helado Gratis and Paraguay has a free ice cream day.

Amandau might be the ice cream chain based on orange

Amandau staff wear the exact same outfit (orange/brown) - however, there are many branches in AsunciĆ³n alone

they had over 190 branches in the country in 2017 - this could potentially also be a copycat parlour, donāt see the Amandau logo anywhere - also would they even sell beer?

gotta say i think going straight to google lens or whatever is a bit of a hack... i was only comfortable doing it when we had been stuck on that same mud flat pic for like two weeks

Asuncion it is
the first pic is immediately to the southeast (I always aim to get subsequent views pretty close to the first view)

It was an Amandau outlet, but one that is now closed down. That wasn't intentional, I only realised when I forgot where it was and had to play my own city in order to find it again to find a nearby image for the second view
― Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 16 November 2022 07:43 (one year ago) link
I was thinking not AsunciĆ³n because it had been mentioned ITT already. (other cities in Paraguay are pretty odd it seems)
― link.exposing.politically (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 16 November 2022 07:55 (one year ago) link
AsunciĆ³n was a work in progress! I was basically waiting for the next view to get confirmation (although, granted, it could have potentially also been a different Paraguayan city)

Partly I was away from my computer for most of last week, partly I'd forgotten where it actually was, and partly I wanted to give a chance for someone to find the view (even though I couldn't remember where it was myself)
It appears quite a few of the other cities in Paraguay are just extensions of Asuncion!
