Seen that pic before but I'm not sure - Mediterranean? Something to do with the crusades?

StanM, Sunday, 11 July 2010 09:24 (thirteen years ago) link

Taipei?

Ned Trifle II, Sunday, 11 July 2010 10:34 (thirteen years ago) link

Not Taipei. I think I actually did Taipei upthread somewhere.

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 11 July 2010 10:56 (thirteen years ago) link

I love Valetta - so beautiful.

Is this some kind of cemetery?

StanM, Sunday, 11 July 2010 12:33 (thirteen years ago) link

I was going to pretend they were really small tower blocks, but you're right, it is a cemetery

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 11 July 2010 12:44 (thirteen years ago) link

duh, the image is called graveyardi.jpg , I now see. :-)

StanM, Sunday, 11 July 2010 13:02 (thirteen years ago) link

kyoto

Correct!

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 11 July 2010 21:29 (thirteen years ago) link

but the signage in pic 1 is in mandarin isnt it? wtf this game is impossible.

rent, Sunday, 11 July 2010 21:35 (thirteen years ago) link

Turns out they use four alphabets in Japan - one is the same as mandarin, one is the same as Latin. So you see signs in English and you think it's weirdly helpful, but it's not actually that strange

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 11 July 2010 21:39 (thirteen years ago) link

hate this game

rent, Sunday, 11 July 2010 21:44 (thirteen years ago) link

Is the first picture in the graveyard? Or just it Kyoto as well?

StanM, Sunday, 11 July 2010 21:45 (thirteen years ago) link

I did manage to make out the word "calico" on that board, but there are 8 zillion bars/cafes/restaurants in the world called Calico, so that was a no-go.

ailsa, Sunday, 11 July 2010 21:47 (thirteen years ago) link

I think it's the City of Butthurt Image Hosts?

Matt DC, Sunday, 11 July 2010 21:53 (thirteen years ago) link

oh bugger, I'll try to find another one!

Lincoln?

ailsa, Sunday, 11 July 2010 21:59 (thirteen years ago) link

First picture of Kyoto is just a shot in some backstreets by the river, I think. I liked the mix of old wooden buildings with higher modern ones, you don't seem to get that so much in other cities (because they were all burnt to cinders in the war basically). It's a fabulous city to visit and stroll in thanks to that, and because the streets are so tight that it's just crammed full of interesting things.

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 11 July 2010 22:02 (thirteen years ago) link

Sorry, mine is obviously #125
