So if it's not an island...and it's in the Northern and Western Hemispheres....and it's also not in South America or North America...Greenland? That's like a big island... heh.

I'm stumped.

Hmm, lets see. West of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich) and North of the Equator, yet not in North or South America and not an island.

Let's just say I find it ironic you can't clearly see this location.

You also said it's not Central America or S. America or U.S. or Canada or Mexico, and not an island. I think that pretty much eliminates everything I can think of.

How about under the Atlantic Ocean?

We have a winner.

I seriously figured when Brazil was eliminated and I posted "mais leste." It pretty much left one country. Then after posting I found it "ironic" that LT couldn't "clearly see this location." I thought I couldn't make it any clearer, so I posted a map.

Yer up. Mr. Bad.

No I don't, but I own three Japanese cars...but what does that have to do with where I am?

another clue since it relates to do with your question: while I am sure the residents there don't speak Japanese, the Japanese language has a connection to this place

Guess so, your clues are flying past me. I thought I was spoon feeding Lisbon too.

Waldo unseen.
Japanese has something to do with it.
North Eastern Hem.
Not an Island.

Shot in the dark...

Myanmar (Burma)

Well, plates can be made out of china, but you said not China. It's not an island. Thai food is popular, and it can be handed to you on a plate. So... I'll go with Thailand.

* although, I don't know how the waldo or Japanese references fit in. Except during WWII, Japan had conquered the area.

I like that logic, but Waldo and Japanese seem missing to me. Though I know jack shit about "Kamchatka."

I'm stumped.

weren't waldos a type of munition in WWII? and getting back to the Japanese, weren't they all over that area in the 1930's & '40's? conquering Korea, Manchuria, Sakhalin Islands (near Kamchatka)

forget about the "waldo" thing. I just threw that out there without any thought whatsoever. The plate tectonics idea is right on the money. Think about that concept in that area and you can get figure it out. Nudder clue: think plate tectonics under water...get it = wet plates.

Not tibet. that's not underwater.


Wait a minute... maybe you aren't on dryland. Maybeyou are under water. Therefore not on an island.... How about the Marianas Trench?

(that would make Phil's Guam guess fairly close, except it's an island)
