Are you on a peninsular country?

Great, which way is west? (that doesn't count as my guess)

I don't believe Korea is an island, so I'll guess:

The Ryukyu islands

You think you're in the Bahamas? not sure that's what you meant!


If we're aiming for a city, I'll go for Freeport. After that Nassau.

This is the part of TFP where we guess the islands. so i'm not technically in the "Bahamas" although I think most people would consider it to be the Islands, or towards the Bahammas. Tully was the closest with the Dominican Republic.

Thank you, pig but I do not know one city in Puerto Rico. I'll guess ... still nothing. It'd be a shame if someone else swooped in with a real city in Puerto Rico, so I'll wrap this up with a quick google search and: Aguadilla

Alright, I'll give my globe a quick spin, (I need to update my version of Google Earth) stick out my finger, and point-stop on a locale.

Where in the world is Jetty?
