    Where in the World - A TTH Geoguessr Quiz

    Where am I?





    The name of the town/city will suffice, I guess.

    I knew immediately it was a Soviet satellite. I would have guessed Ukraine if it wasn't in ruins, so it had to be one of the Asian ones.

    I reckon the locals would love it if you put on a mankini and did lots of Borat impressions.

    Wide roads, square buildings and not a lot happening is so Soviet. That probably stretches as far as the shit parts of Berlin.

    I worked with a Kazahk lass. Most of the office thought she was Polish. When you get to that end of the Soviet bloc, half of them are Asian anyway.

    Don't recognise that and most piers are in more built up areas than that. Isle of Wight or something?

    Only pier I know down there is Brighton, but there's no way it's that undeveloped. Guessing it's Cornwall or Devon.

    It can't be south coast, as the land appears to bend back the other way in the background. I thought Scarbados but I've been there and it doesn't have a pier like that.

    The plants and buildings look more southern than northern, though. Devon? I dunno.

    Oops... I meant correct coastline as in the correct country/island.

    It's the north west.

    I was going to say Llandudno but was thrown by earlier comments.

    Looks a bit like Venice, except you'd have boats there and not cars.

    Don't know how this will go. I just loaded up a game on GeoGuessr and copied five rounds.

    Basically correct, except all the gondolas have been replaced by white vans.

    No. It’s a bit of a trick I suppose, hence why the flag is so prominently displayed.

    It reminds me of Blankenberge or Brugge, the only two Belgian cities I've ever been to.

    Antwerp? Gent? Bruges? I don't know, Ypres? Is that even a place? I'm pretty sure it was just a German trench.

    There’s a big clue in the picture. I’ll hold off giving the answers for a few hours.

    Presumably it's Namur since it says that on the building.

    5 must be Kyrgyzstan. 2 Bulgaria? 1 feels like Latin American but could equally be Spain or Italy.

    #1 feels like one of the Caucasian semi-autonomous states, like Chechnya. Let's say Grozny
