looks a bit like amharic/ge'ez so given the look of the place maybe armenia or albania? tirana? I know they go in for wacky tower block decorations

the only place I've been where there were markings on buildings that seemed like those is Brazil, specifically São Paolo, but that's all I've got.
That’s all you need. It’s right.
The graffiti is Pixação.

ha! nice. I saw a lot of it on the interminable (because of traffic) bus ride between São Paolo airport and Campinas. I found it menacing.

Well done Euler!
ok if no one else is playing, I think the river one is volgograd but this easier one is much harder. maybe east africa somewhere?
― ogmor,
Good attempt - I think it qualifies as being in that region

hmm borderline east africa... kampala?

"Easy one": the cars are all white so I assume it's somewhere hot, it looks "inland", I cannot identify the flag for the life of me

Flag looks most like Guatemala but... that doesn't look like Guatemala (at least not how I'd imagine Guatemala to look like)

I didn’t notice the flag but it looks like the East African Community one, so if not Kampala, maybe Kigali?

White houses with splashes of colour suggest somewhere hot to me but that's about as far as i can get.

That red brick with faux-Roman pillars has to be Britain, somewhere. Lancaster?

Futhark runes on the boat? Too barren to be Alvdalen, but somewhere in Norway, or Gotland maybe? Maybe Fårö?
