Sorry, was away for a tic there.

Correct, Yangon, Myanmar. Or in the mind of old anachronisms like myself, Rangoon, Burma.

The hint I gave earlier was in reference to the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, who was born in Rangoon. She leads Burma's popular movement for freedom and democracy, and has been held under house arrest by the military dictatorship since returning to the country from Britain in 1988.

Locutus, you're up!

Another monument again, though I'm not telling in honour of what.

[Dracon II]

copenhagen?

[Dracon II]

Oslo?

[Locutus]

Both very wrong.

[Winston]

Port Stanley, Falkland Islands.

Monument over British soldiers who fell during the course of liberating the islands, erected 14 June 1982.

[Locutus]

Wow, faster than I thought it would be

That means I actually get to have some sleep tonight

He-he! Good choice of picture, Locutus. We sure do get all across the world in this thread.

It'll be 10 minutes or so before the next picture is posted. At ease.

[Winston]

Here we go.

Two pictures this time, let the scratching of heads begin!

[Dracon II]

clues?

[Winston]

Not in Africa.

Seriously, if you look closely at the second picture, you should be able to figure out the native language spoken there.

[Dracon II]

German?

hmm... Munich?

[Winston]

Not Munich, but it's not that far from Munich.

The city has been a center for science and the arts for centuries. The castle seen in the first picture bears the same name as the city.
