What's The City

[Florin]

Correct continent, of course, but wrong country.

[Glauka]

graz- austria

[SamuiRes]

Ok, here's one...

And yeah, the clues were indeed good...I'd like to go to that area sometime.

How about Talllin in Estonia?

[Florin]

Nope, think Eastern...and Cyrillic

edit: Estonia's the closest yet geographically...it's not a capital, but it is the second biggest city in its country.

St Petersburg?

[Florin]

Nope, but it did belong to the same toppled superpower.

Krakow?

[Florin]

Hey, that's an insult to Polish people They were never part of the CCCP.

Whoops! Sorry

OK - how about Odessa then?

Or am I going to far away now?

[Old Croc]

Kiev?

[Florin]

Correct country! Sorry about a previous clue, it's not its second-largest city in terms of population, but it is a pretty big, very old, culturally-significant city. If you google-image it, the pic I posted is one of the first to show up

Sevastopol?

[Florin]

Nope, it's not a port...the city is very old, 750 years or so.

[Old Croc]

chernobyl

[Florin]

Neah, air is too clear for that

Another continent

[lamphun]

Shekou ..?

[SamuiRes]

Shekou ..?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Right area of the world generally - but not anywhere near enough!

(Have to sign off now - so further responses in the morning)

[Patex]

Singapore?

Looks so clean...

[mittheimp]

looks asian , could be singapore or shainghai, hong kong possibly.

[Old Croc]

I was thinking maybe Japan.

Way to far East all of you!

Think Sun and Sand.

The Gold Coast ?

[MikeRay]

Dubai ? didi-didi-dam-didi-doo

[SamuiRes]

Dubai ? didi-didi-dam-didi-doo

Oh so close!

[Old Croc]

The Gold Coast ?

Dubai ? didi-didi-dam-didi-doo

I see the leader (Emir) of Dubai dropped dead at the Gold Coast yesterday.

My guess Bahrain.

Heading off in the wrong direction.

The Prime Minister and Vice President of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, Shaikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum did indeed pass away in Oz and his home was a lot nearer to the city we are looking for than Bahrain.

[Old Croc]

OK. It's Abu Dhabi.

I don't feel it is the same general part of the world as Shekou, as you said in one of your clues.
