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.

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.

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