a. NYC. Or Boston?
b. imma go with Seattle.
c. Hong Kong, obvi. Do I get bonus points because I know that that building was designed by I.M. Pei?
d. also Hong Kong?
e. Pittsburgh, but I only know that cuz you didn't change the photo tag. Oops.
f. Boston. See "e."
g. Nashville?
h. geez, I dunno. Also Nashville?

michael said...

50%. c-e were correct.

my bad on the photo tag... but I would have hoped you would get b right Laura... though admittedly it's not the clearest shot of the skyline.

michael said...

err c-f.

laceylou said...

h. Columbus!

just a guess.

michael said...

Lacey! you saw the Columbus skyline two days ago... I thought you would recognize it... and you didn't.

h. is not Nashville or Columbus.

laceylou said...

damn it.

Columbus is G!

I remember the bridge and the tall, skinny, tiered building.

michael said...

That's right. Only three pictures have not been identified.

Darren Jennings said...

a. chi-town
d. tokyo

B. Anne Jarboe said...

h. Louisville

michael said...

Darren is correct. A is the Windy City.

But as Laura already pointed out, d. is Hong Kong and sorry Jarboe h. is not Louisville. I thought putting our own city up here would be a little obvious.

Paul said...

You're a little obvious, Michael.

B is Istanbul and what appears to be an Iced Grande White Mocha. Its not a super clear shot (save of the White Mocha) but I guess the Haggia Sophia would have been too obvious.

H. H looks midwestern. I'm gonna try a shotgun blast: Columbus/Dayton/Cincinnati, OH.

michael said...

Facebook. Final clue.

and Paul, you're right about Istanbul.

Laura said...

MB, where'd you get the pics of Hong Kong? I have ones just like that from when I lived there.

michael said...

I spent 24 hours in Hong Kong after spending 2 weeks in Cambodia back in 2007. It was awesome.

Laura said...

Yeah, I bet it was awesome. I remember the feeling after I came back to HK from Thailand and it was like landing in an art gallery.

Do I get extra credit if I can name the Starbuck's in B?...It would be the one in the Astoria Alişveriş Merkezi I believe.
