Guess the City: Thread Two

[Junglecutter]

If its on an island and it looks like theres a church there dominating the central plaza, I'd have to guess its in the Philippines. The problem is I don't recall any provincial city that has that kind of climate or vegetation or is even that clean.

Baguio City? Cebu City?

 

[D'Artagnan59]

Haikou????

 

[Tee Kay]

One person has the right country...


But not the right city though. Try again.

 

[alcal]

Kyoto? Nagoya?

 

[Junglecutter]

Manila? Makati?

 

[choxorn]

Sapporo? Quezon City?

 

[Tee Kay]

Manila? Makati?

We have a winner!!!

The building is the Manila Cathedral.

You are up!

 

[Junglecutter]

What?! I don't recall Manila being that clean and green

Anyways...


(old picture)

easy enough.

 

[choxorn]

Well, obviously, it's in a desert.

Santa Fe? El Paso?

 

[Junglecutter]

Nope.

The picture is 17 years old, A LOT has changed since then

Dubai? Addis Ababa?

 

[choxorn]

That age probably means I'm on the wrong continent.

Riyadh? Amman?

 

[Izipo]

Catharsis has it, it is Dubai. (Ever seen the Sim City Dubai powerpoint ?)

 

[Junglecutter]

Catharsis has it, it is Dubai. (Ever seen the Sim City Dubai powerpoint ?)

Yep, Dubai it is

Here's the before and after shot

 

[Tee Kay]

The tall buildings in the original picture look puny by comparison in the second picture...

 

[Catharsis]

It's not Dubrovnik this time:

 

[Izipo]

One of the former soviet republics ? Ends in -stan ?

 

[Tee Kay]

Almaty? Bishkek?

 

[Catharsis]

No to all of those questions.

 

[Tee Kay]

Belgrade? Sofia?
