pieping...beijing...the capitol of china?

BadNick · 07-05-2008, 08:59 PM

Tul,
Japan is east of Korea.

unc,
not china.

I'm north of China, and that June 30th date I previously mentioned is significant to this place.

uncle phil · 07-06-2008, 03:21 AM

Tunguska, Siberia?

BadNick · 07-06-2008, 07:57 AM

Alright! That's it. The object blew up a few miles above Tunguska on June 30, 1908 and 41 years later and many miles away I was born...what a strange coincidence.

I'm surprised nobody but us threesome have gotten into this. I'm enjoying this game but I'm wondering if it's wearing thin on you guys. Where in the world is everybody else? Do you guys have any ideas on how we can draw other people into this? I was thinking of linking to this thread in my posts in other sections with a comment like "where in the world are all you people?".

OK unc, you're up.

Tully Mars · 07-06-2008, 08:19 AM

Yeah, after my dyslexic moment with Japan and then UP's Tunguska guess I did some research and figured that had to be it.

And yes I wish others would join in more often, not sure how to make that happen.

uncle phil · 07-06-2008, 01:02 PM

let's just keep doing our thing...obviously not a whole lot of us care about geography

Tully Mars · 07-06-2008, 01:10 PM

In a hot tub, no wait golf course...

In the WH?

uncle phil · 07-06-2008, 01:35 PM

BadNick · 07-06-2008, 02:35 PM

uncle phil · 07-06-2008, 02:35 PM

BadNick · 07-06-2008, 02:44 PM

OK, you're in the northern half of the eastern hemisphere...

Are you in China?

Tully Mars · 07-06-2008, 02:52 PM

Back in the USSR?

uncle phil · 07-06-2008, 03:21 PM

nick - nope

tully - nope...

Tully Mars · 07-06-2008, 03:50 PM

An Island?

uncle phil · 07-06-2008, 03:58 PM

tully - no...

Tully Mars · 07-06-2008, 04:38 PM

uncle phil · 07-06-2008, 04:47 PM

Tully Mars · 07-06-2008, 04:59 PM

South nam?

uncle phil · 07-06-2008, 05:13 PM

Tully Mars · 07-06-2008, 05:22 PM

Ho Chi Minh?

uncle phil · 07-06-2008, 05:29 PM

Tully Mars · 07-06-2008, 05:39 PM

Some story with that locale? I basically named the two SV cities I could remember. Any reason you choose that one?

uncle phil · 07-07-2008, 04:07 AM

that's where i spent most of my time from september of 1967 through april of 1969...

BadNick · 07-07-2008, 06:42 AM

I never did any military service but I'm thankful to those who did...thanks to both of you. It would be quite a coincidence if unc knew some of my buddies who where there in those years. I entered college in Sept. 1967 and lucky for my ass the engineering curriculum had a "college exemption" at that time, then when they established the lottery system for the draft I got a high number so was able to finish college. If I got faced with the draft I planned to join the Air Force and be a pilot but I never played out that option.

OK...where in the world am I? This place is not a city, but is a well-known location, at least to exotic world travellers.

uncle phil · 07-07-2008, 01:08 PM

bali?

BadNick · 07-07-2008, 07:18 PM

I'm in the southern half of the western hemisphere.

uncle phil · 07-08-2008, 05:45 AM

BadNick · 07-08-2008, 05:54 AM

right continent, wrong place

...where I am they don't have gorgeous scantily clad Brazilian babes strutting around the beach at Ipanema.

uncle phil · 07-08-2008, 01:50 PM

how about aruba?

Tully Mars · 07-08-2008, 02:10 PM

An island?

BadNick · 07-08-2008, 06:03 PM

not Aruba...and not an island.

Tully Mars · 07-08-2008, 06:09 PM

BadNick · 07-08-2008, 06:14 PM
