Five rings suggests Olympics to me, which makes me think Beijing, but since uncle phil already said Peking...and as he said: "or, to some of us purists, peiping" I assume it can't be Beijing...unless Tully's noise problem is acting up again.
So how about Norbulingka...since I think the Olympic torch started from there on the way to Lhasa. Last edited by BadNick; 06-20-2008 at 07:50 PM.. |

Bingo!
It was on my Google new home page as having the torch there yesterday, but after looking at the schedule I think the article was a day off. Off to the gym and beach. Go UP.

Yeah we're getting kind of shorthand in this game, speaking short handed I too really like this thread. But somehow feel it's sad it's down to just us three playing. Three guys playing with themselves just doesn't sound right.
North East Hem... Ok, Europe?

Sorry that doesn't seem to help me. All I get is "sorry we don't have images at this level try zooming out." When I do zoom out I get nothing but fairly large towns, no small villages. I've been zooming in on north Norway for a while now and this seem to be all I get.
I'm assuming the village has "am" "I" or "hell" in it but can't see it.

it's a google map of Hell, Norway, just east of Trondheim, on the northern edge of that southern "bulge" before Norway narrows out toward the north...
