1. Spotted the language in the picture2. Tried to read the english script, googled "yamashiwa"?3. Tried to place the blue logo, lotta googling4. Sorted through endless skyline photos and actually ruled out the correct city once before coming back around to it by accident5. Speculated that this photo was perversely taken from a famous landmark but I can't tell
― fear of zing failure (flamboyant goon tie included), Thursday, 5 December 2013 16:43 (ten years ago) link
there is one famous landmark in this city that would certainly give it away

I was in the wrong country, but the right general... part of this continent. Went through at least a dozen cities in that country before deciding to look through cities that would have similar rooftops. Then I got sidetracked because this city, if you look at it from any other angle, has a bunch of buildings that don't appear in this photo.

First time I've checked ILX today, and it's finally somewhere I've been! (assuming it actually is Seville, which it looks incredibly like)

THAT, is St. John's, Nfld.

(Although my first guess was Thunder Bay. "Canada" logo on the red building gave the game away)

I'm kind of curious what the other guesses would have been for St Johns. Anybody care to post what they thought it might be, even knowing the answer?

We've had that one before, I think (recognise the bridge, can't remember where it is and am not loading all messages to find out!), but iirc it's in China/Japan/Korea somewhere.
― ailsa, Saturday, 21 December 2013 15:21 (ten years ago) link
did a search for it, couldn't find. you are right to think it's in east asia, though.
