Hiroshima
|
not Hiroshima....but like the Hiroshima Memorial site, where I am is also World Heritage Site.
|
Kyoto?
|
Not Nagasaki.
While I'm sure those two places have historically older associations than WWII, the place I am has a more ancient heritage than the last 1000 years or so. |
Nara?
|
You got it, Tul. I'm in Nara.
The "Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara" include 6 temples: Todaiji, Kasuga-Taisha, Kofukuji, Yakushiji, Toshodaiji and Gangouji. Todaiji is a noteworthy example, visited by Japanese students on school trips and tourists from all over the world. This temple was built by order of Emperor Shomu (ruling from 724 to 749) in order to protect the country. The 14.7-meter-high Great Buddha in the Daibutsuden (Great Buddha Hall) symbolizes Nara, and his pose of holding up the palm of his right hand to the front while placing his left hand on his knee with the palm upwards means that he gives strength to the people with his right hand while promising to grant their wishes with his left. The main body of the Buddha has been repaired many times over the years, but the lotus petal part used as the foundation and both legs are as they were when first made. The building, reconstructed in the Edo era, is the largest-scale ancient wooden building in the world. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...ics6/Nara1.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...6/nara_300.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...Nara_Japan.jpg |

I'm south of the Solomons, north of New Zealand and east of Australia. I'm likely soaking up sun on a beach speaking French* to a bunch of other tourists. *No, I can't actually speak French, but I'm also not really at this location, so? |
samoa?
shit, that's probably east... |

Draw a line on a map from Brisbane Australia to Fiji. In the middle of that line you'll find me. |
By elimination, and since it seems you are willing to indulge my incessant guessings, I will offer up once again that you are in: New Caledonia

The above is actually a vague hint. |
