What's The City

[mittheimp]

Here is that whole middle east/asia thing again As an Australian I tend to think of asia as everthing east of Bangladesh while for Europeans its everything the other side of germany

It's not in Malaysia

Where is India, pakistan, nepal etc then?

But you are right if referring to media descriptions - an 'asian' in the Uk is someone from India/Pakistan/Bangladesh and and Asian in Oz is east of Bangladesh!!!

[Old Croc]

Hi, I'm back. been away for a few days.

For me, India, Pakistan, etc is the sub continent. Asia for me is probably more accurately called SE Asia. I was joking with the East of Germany thing.

I know Asia starts at the Bosforus, but i will never consider the middle east to be Asia.

The city in question is in Japan.

You would be 100% correct.

The idea for Istanbul came from your previous comment about the Bosforus.

Back to you, Croc.

[Old Croc]

Yes Bino, my first thought was Istanbul. Then I nearly went away from that idea because it was too obvious after having just talked about it.

Here's the next one. A port city.

[Neeranam]

Port Philip?

[Old Croc]

Port Philip?

As in Port Phillip Bay - Melbourne? No, not correct.

It's in the Northern Hemisphere.

[Old Croc]

No, but you're a lot closer.

[Old Croc]

[Neeranam]

Pretty easy one.

[lamphun]

Glasgow ... based on the Irn Bru taxi.

[Neeranam]

Glasgow is correct.

[Neeranam]

This is a capital city - What is it?

[lamphun]

Thimpu in Bhutan.

[Neeranam]

Lamphun - well done, how on earth did you know?

[Old Croc]

I should have known it. I think I posted that city about 400 pages back.

Sore loser.

Wasn't difficult, a capital city with Tibetan style buildings. It coudn't be Lhasa as the chinese have done their worst. Only place left was Bhutan.

[Neeranam]

What's this city?

[Patex]

Capetown?

[Neeranam]

Capetown?

Yep, well done!

Oh bugger, I thought it was the Khorat Plateau.
