Hong Kong

Jetée · 08-03-2008, 06:29 PM

Also, no.

It's a beautiful island, I highly rec'd it. I will return someday.

ItWasMe · 08-03-2008, 06:30 PM

Siberia? I was thinking that first, but a widdow wabbit might fweeze there. Or get eaten by a tiger.

Jetée · 08-03-2008, 06:34 PM

No.

Also, I am very impressed how fast you can narrow a location; hemisphere, continent, and so on. I am learning.

ItWasMe · 08-03-2008, 06:38 PM

I was waiting for you to say no, so I could say Korea. Or, People's Republic of Korea.

Jetée · 08-03-2008, 06:42 PM

Wow. Good plan, and nice to see you taking me clue to heart. Alas, no.

Also, not to give too much away, but this place also has a connection with Tully's most prominent clue for New Caledonia.

ItWasMe · 08-03-2008, 06:53 PM

Not Holland?

edit: hurry up and say no, so I can say Netherlands.

/me thinks I'm going the wrong way on this. Where's my Tully?

Jetée · 08-03-2008, 07:00 PM

Not correct either, but to lucidify, Tully already eliminated the European continent.

ItWasMe · 08-03-2008, 07:02 PM

As I thought.

You were speaking Dutch, it seemed. Guessing ... Indonesia? Though that would seem too far south.

Jetée · 08-03-2008, 07:05 PM

I seem to be alot of things. Inudibitably and irregardless(sorry,but for alliteration's sake),

Indonesia is incorrect.

ItWasMe · 08-03-2008, 07:08 PM

this is about my second time playing this. pausing to make a list of possible planets on earth for me to choose from.

This is my third. The last time I played this game was on page 3, still in its infancy. Sorry for the possible delay, but I got lost in the 'choose your jelly' thread. But, since you gave no guess, you couldn't have missed me too much.

BadNick · 08-03-2008, 07:25 PM

How about Vietnam...officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam? I'm guessing this country assuming the French connection was Tully's clue you alluded to.

ItWasMe · 08-03-2008, 07:57 PM

Do many women conceal their faces with cloth?

Very insightful BadNick, but I am afraid that is not it either. The French connection should help all, though.

ItWasMe: No, many women do not, but that does not help the general consensus that may come to one's mind when one hears of this country's region.

BadNick · 08-03-2008, 08:13 PM

Are you in one of the countries that was at one time considered "French Indochina"?

Jetée · 08-03-2008, 08:18 PM

ItWasMe · 08-03-2008, 09:31 PM

Is it closer to the North Pole than Lebanon is?

Alas, I must hug the furry bunny goodnight. Getting late here.

Jetée · 08-03-2008, 10:33 PM

Yes. I am within the borders of Lebanon.

But, this time, as opposed to last, I am located not in the capital city, but a recognizable landmark which is also the site for an international venue.

Where am I residing?

uncle phil · 08-04-2008, 02:49 AM

tripoli?

Tully Mars · 08-04-2008, 04:32 AM

Grand Serail?

BadNick · 08-04-2008, 06:00 AM

Are you at Beiteddine Palace?

...re: Gilberto Gil, who is also the minister of Culture of Brazil, was a guest at Beiteddine Palace, some 50 kilometers away from Beirut, the country capital. The show is part of Beiteddine Festival, which began on the July 12 and should continue with nine other presentations up to August 12. Gilberto Gil is among Brazilians at Lebanon's International Music Festival there.

Jetée · 08-04-2008, 10:42 AM

Ah, yes.

I am indeed at Beiteddine Palace in the Republic of Lebanon, which is also site of the International Music Festival to which I was alluding.

You saved me much of the effort and history that might've gone into this post, BadNick.

You were quite confident of your guess, and it paid off. The show is now yours, Nick.

ItWasMe · 08-04-2008, 01:09 PM

Reminds me of the movie "While You Were Sleeping."

BadNick · 08-04-2008, 05:33 PM

Jetée, I was pretty confident based on your last couple clues and my intuition. I'll dig out one of my old LP's of Gilberto Gil playing and singing with his band...I haven't played that in quite a few years.

OK folks, where in the world am I?

Tully Mars · 08-04-2008, 05:49 PM

Jetée · 08-04-2008, 06:57 PM

ItWasMe: I have not seen nor heard of the mentioned film; recommend it, would you?

BadNick: That would definitely set me aflutter to hear one of his albums.

Intuition: You are currently experiencing the cusp of winter/spring.

BadNick · 08-04-2008, 08:03 PM

Tul: yes, WH

Jetée, Nope, not winter/spring. It's quite a nice summer here as far as I can see, and that's quite far.

jorgelito · 08-04-2008, 08:05 PM

North America?

Jetée · 08-04-2008, 08:25 PM

You are near the Gulf of Mexico

ItWasMe · 08-04-2008, 10:26 PM

Can you see the ocean?

jet: great movie, one of my favorites. I'll pm you.

BadNick · 08-05-2008, 01:56 AM

jorgelito: yes, NA

Jetée, not near the GOM.

ItWasMe, yes, I can clearly see the ocean.

hey! We might want to know about this secret movie, too. Spill the beans, please.

PS: unfortunately, I will be MIA for about the next 16 hours...going racing!!! So if you all decide to keep the game moving along by having someone else step in with a turn, please go right ahead. I'll be back later...hopefully with some pics and incar video to post and no reports of death, damage, or injury

Jetée · 08-05-2008, 02:23 AM

He's Going to California

uncle phil · 08-05-2008, 02:45 AM

east of the mississippi?

ItWasMe · 08-05-2008, 07:28 PM

Are you in the United States territories?

I'll pm you the movie details, too. It's not a secret. You can google it.

BadNick · 08-06-2008, 03:34 AM

I'll check out Going to California but that's not where I am.

And yes unc, I'm east of the Miss.

ItWasMe, yes I'm in a U.S. territory...as in a state.

uncle phil · 08-06-2008, 03:48 AM

city?

girldetective · 08-06-2008, 05:33 AM

N of the Mason Dixon line?

BadNick · 08-06-2008, 07:07 AM

Not a city...the place I have in mind is a building and there are a couple very small towns within a few miles but the building is not in a town...it's pretty much just out there.

I am south of the Mason-Dixon line.
