JaiDee Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 In the same vein of BB's new trivia quiz thread, I was thinking that maybe we could have a "name that country" thread as well; post a photo of a famous landmark, body of water, some people, some diverse topography associated with one country only, etc..... The rules in this one won't be quit as strict, in the sense that you can show other photos without answering the previous questions before moving on. Best part of this quiz; no one can cheat! You either know the answer or you don't, Google can't really help. My first photo; where do these children live? 2 Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Here would be an example of an 'easy' question; hopefully we will have some like this and some a little harder and some which are a LOT harder! Now, back to those children; where from? Quote Link to comment
bumblebee Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Judging by the mix of faces I'd go for some central Asian country like Kazakhstan. Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 That would be a NO, BB! If Kazakhstan was indeed your choice......but you were warm. No problems with multiple guesses in this thread, and we encourage difficult or trick photos [the little kid photo is an example of this.] Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Another good guess PD, but no......and you were kinda further away than Bumblebee was. Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 No Peru either......Snick you are the farthest away yet! I'd be quite shocked if anyone DID get this one....kind of the purpose of this thread!? Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Farthest away yet! You sure you weren't thinking Little Uzbekistan in Montreal? Quote Link to comment
williethepimp Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I think China.....Uighur children..... Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Willie got it! Those kids are Chinese, from Kashgar on the Silk Road This was taken recently outside a bar in which country? 1 Quote Link to comment
pdogg Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I'll guess Belgium based on the Red Ale sign. Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Nope, not Belgium...... I have 2 more below, both are a tad easier......still surprised Willie got the children one so quickly, they sure as hell don't LOOK Chinese. Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 This was taken recently outside a bar in which country? By the way, there is a clue in this line Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 It might be an idea to rename the pix before uploading them, old sport! As for the ice seats outside the bar, I'd guess that's Boston, Mass., USA. Yeah, I wasn't sure if people would be hovering over the photos with the right click of the mouse feature, but from now on I will rename them anyway. Good one on the Spain one and also the USA one; city not required, just country! That pic was actually taken just a few days ago in northern USA {Minnesota} during the cold snap, which is why I said 'recently' was a clue. The 2 guys on the horses? Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 This building is real ....and has babies crawling up the outside. Anyone? No google, please! 1 Quote Link to comment
williethepimp Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 dunno the answer jai dee ,but the pics are just great (i got the pamplona one ,easy peasy that one) Quote Link to comment
bumblebee Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'll take a stab at the guys on the horses and say Russia. I have seen the babies on the building on some travel show but cannot recall which country. Here is an interesting looking place, but where is it? Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ok, the horse guys were Mongolia.....the guy on the right has on a dead giveaway Genghis Khan-style pointy hat. The Baby Tower is in the Czech Republic, in Prague. I have seen some news about that hole in the ground somewhere before, BB! Something about ''the gateway to hell" but I can't remember where it was. I will guess Hawaii, USA? Quote Link to comment
bumblebee Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 It's called the gate/door to hell indeed. Try more over towards where your photos of the kids was taken. Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Uzbekistan? Tajikistan? Russia/Siberia?? Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Gotta be..... Holland? In fact I think I've seen that building after a few too many trips to the dispensary. These mud dwellings exist in which country? {The Flintstones does not count} Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 This photo could only come from one place, right? I mean......right? Quote Link to comment
