June 25, 200816 yr back from the dead :laugh: so how's this for a hint? --- it's the biggest (meaning population) city in the world.
June 25, 200816 yr ^ that may be. so lets just say its one of the largest in the world. it's the largest in its country. hint: they are very much looking forward to the completion of the controversial three gorges dam mega-project. no no no right click cheating allowed! :laugh:
June 25, 200816 yr It looks like Chongqing. The building in the middle, faintly resembling the Chrysler Building is my clue. Definitely not Shanghai, which is a flat as a pancake.
June 26, 200816 yr Okay, I admit my nerdiness.....and therefore add this. Hint: Almost everyone speaks English in this country, but it must be learned at school, and no one speaks it at home. This is not the largest city nor the capital of the country, but is still well known. Enough hints
June 26, 200816 yr Looks like Rotterdam. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
June 26, 200816 yr Rotterdam it is. Good eye, especially without any of the usual landmarks in this shot.
June 26, 200816 yr Just a reminder of the rules here: If you get the guess right, its your job to find the next skyline....
June 26, 200816 yr It looks like Chongqing. The building in the middle, faintly resembling the Chrysler Building is my clue. Definitely not Shanghai, which is a flat as a pancake. Wow, why have I never heard of this city?
June 26, 200816 yr maybe you had heard of it as chungking before the days of political correctness? :laugh:
June 26, 200816 yr Good grief, I hope I wasn't being politically correct!!!! The spelling was changed many years ago when the government of China started using the pinyin system rather than the Wade-Giles system to spell. I studied Mandarin for years, have an interest in China and am just used to seeing the cities in pinyin. No correctness involved, only nerdiness.
June 27, 200816 yr Just a reminder of the rules here: If you get the guess right, its your job to find the next skyline.... Ugh, ass. "Guess the city." "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
June 27, 200816 yr Manila it is! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
June 28, 200816 yr Okay, I'm going. While not exactly a "skyline," this is the center of my favorite city in Africa.
June 28, 200816 yr Ha, I love how this thread is pulling ebay ads/auctions for Nissan Skylines. The 2009's are badass, btw ... check it out. 480 HP @ 6,400 RPM's.
June 28, 200816 yr It's the largest city in an African country, but not the capital. okay that gave it away for me and google: Lagos, Nigeria
June 29, 200816 yr wow, good one pope. i was stumped so i cheated and i have to say i would have never, ever guessed that. the kiosk in the foreground is a slight hint, although i suppose it's more likely that somebody might recognize the distinctive spire.
June 29, 200816 yr Obviously in the Middle East and it doesn't look Saudi Arabian. Almost Bahrainian. Manama? "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
June 29, 200816 yr nope, I'll give you guys a little bit more. That shack kinda looks like a krispy kreme.
