I haven't! I assumed it was CHEATING!

kinder, Monday, 7 November 2022 09:39 (two years ago) link

Other than the previous two cities, I feel like this hasn't played much of a role? Keighley took 4 photos, and feels like most of the previous cities took some time to get also

For the most part it feels uncommon for a city to get guessed quickly, these being something of an exception. Maybe because two in a row?

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Monday, 7 November 2022 09:44 (two years ago) link

Still seems like a bit of a cheat to just go 'computer, where is this city?'

Well google lens is certainly no help! Pretty thin selection of beer in this cafe. The balloons give me an Asian vibe but any script I can see looks Latin. The packets of stuff on the counter look a bit Italian.

The window appears to say gelado or perhaps helado - portuguese/spanish?

ledge, Monday, 7 November 2022 11:36 (two years ago) link

the Pilsen beer brand is Paraguayan

Ulaanbaatar

The S to the right of the fridge is the logo of the cafe.

(on the other hand it's also ripped off from the Sistema Espresso logo so this might be a dead end)

Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Monday, 7 November 2022 11:47 (two years ago) link

nope, it appears to be a Spanish (I think) brand of Italian coffee

Found an importer and seller in Paraguay, so more chance of that being there than the beer making it out. Plus I think the window says Helado Gratis and Paraguay has a free ice cream day.

Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Monday, 7 November 2022 13:20 (two years ago) link

Amandau might be the ice cream chain based on orange

Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Monday, 7 November 2022 13:23 (two years ago) link

Paraguay has a free ice cream day

this is the information we crave

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Monday, 7 November 2022 13:25 (two years ago) link

Amandau staff wear the exact same outfit (orange/brown) - however, there are many branches in AsunciĆ³n alone

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Monday, 7 November 2022 13:32 (two years ago) link

they had over 190 branches in the country in 2017 - this could potentially also be a copycat parlour, donā€™t see the Amandau logo anywhere - also would they even sell beer?

Lonely guy just thinking baout Paraguayan ice cream parlours

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Monday, 7 November 2022 14:05 (two years ago) link

gotta say i think going straight to google lens or whatever is a bit of a hack... i was only comfortable doing it when we had been stuck on that same mud flat pic for like two weeks

A second look

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Tuesday, 15 November 2022 10:04 (two years ago) link

yes, it is AsunciĆ³n, Paraguay:

havenā€™t been able to pinpoint that specific ice cream parlour yet tho

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 15 November 2022 10:55 (two years ago) link

there is an encampment for homeless people just a few steps away from that second view tho

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 15 November 2022 10:59 (two years ago) link

well done!

ledge, Tuesday, 15 November 2022 11:41 (two years ago) link

I should make less use of ā€˜thoā€™ tho

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 15 November 2022 12:30 (two years ago) link

Asuncion it is

the first pic is immediately to the southeast (I always aim to get subsequent views pretty close to the first view)

It was an Amandau outlet, but one that is now closed down. That wasn't intentional, I only realised when I forgot where it was and had to play my own city in order to find it again to find a nearby image for the second view

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 16 November 2022 07:43 (two years ago) link

I was thinking not AsunciĆ³n because it had been mentioned ITT already. (other cities in Paraguay are pretty odd it seems)

link.exposing.politically (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 16 November 2022 07:55 (two years ago) link

AsunciĆ³n was a work in progress! I was basically waiting for the next view to get confirmation (although, granted, it could have potentially also been a different Paraguayan city)

Iā€™m aware of that, thatā€™s why it kinda baffled me that I wasnā€™t able to locate it.

aware of the second clause, that is

no competing with Helados DoƱa Ɓngela, I guess

Partly I was away from my computer for most of last week, partly I'd forgotten where it actually was, and partly I wanted to give a chance for someone to find the view (even though I couldn't remember where it was myself)

It appears quite a few of the other cities in Paraguay are just extensions of Asuncion!

Friday time Streetview time

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Friday, 18 November 2022 07:09 (one year ago) link

Almost certainly Britain. Bottom half of the wall looks like Bath Stone or Cotswold Stone which doesn't make it far out of those areas.

Road marking are not typical for the uk though - or those sluice valve markers.

ledge, Friday, 18 November 2022 09:08 (one year ago) link

sv means stop valve ime but yes it does indicate an english speaking country

can't be that many castles with trampolines

koogs, Friday, 18 November 2022 22:21 (one year ago) link

oh, I thought that was netting for catching falling building chunks

StanM, Friday, 18 November 2022 22:49 (one year ago) link

I think it's safe to say we haven't got a clue? :-)

Help? :(

Here's a game for all you OSINT fans, in the photo below is a location you have to find I'll give you a hint it's in donbass and you have to come back with the exact location in the replies.

Aiden Aslin has posted one here as well if anyone wants a go at that too

first instinct is New Zealand. maybe on an estuary? no time to search right now tho

or something, Wednesday, 7 December 2022 18:23 (one year ago) link

pittosporums (i think) & a tī kōuka/cabbage tree would suggest so... getting a south island vibe. is corrugated iron roofing even a thing outside the south pacific?

driving on the left side of the road

StanM, Wednesday, 7 December 2022 21:35 (one year ago) link

So the road markings from the first picture are a clearway which is also a bike lane. Also applies to Australia.
