TH doesn't get the win because a) he posted 10 times and his 1st guess was not the answer. b) he googled.

Hmmm Belfast. I have a hard time considering Northern Ireland a country, though I guess it is. Kind of.


EDIT: Note that I guessed a city in Scotland, but somehow didn't have the same mental hangup with that. I think I have revealed some subconscious bias.

reb,

Chuy nails it.

I thought of it because of this book:


He writes books about ancient cities and using all that is known for certain, fills it in with day-to-day human stories. In this one, for example, he goes through the founding of Salisbury/Sarum all the way through the conception and construction of Stonehenge. I don't exactly know what genre to call it. It's very interesting, he did one for Kiev (its called Russka), which was the first city I was going to do till I saw it mentioned already on this thread.

I like how this is so regional. We were camped out in the Indian Ocean and Western Pacific and have now settled in Europe.

Edit: not anymore, it appears

Hey, I tried a city in China with 11m+ population, but nobody could get it. White people just know Europe better.

Although, back-to-back UK was unnecessary.
