Jinxter Posted September 10, 2011 Share #8308 Posted September 10, 2011 Nathan Road (near the eastern entrance to Kowloon Park)? To be honest I just asked Dr. Google. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertekijker Posted September 10, 2011 Share #8309 Posted September 10, 2011 Nathan Road (near the eastern entrance to Kowloon Park)? To be honest I just asked Dr. Google. On these pages he used to be called 'Mr. Google'. Glad to hear he successfully defended his doctoral dissertation, or was it 'honoris causa'? The things I have learned from this competition over the years... Just marvellous. ----------- Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted September 11, 2011 Share #8310 Posted September 11, 2011 Over to you Jinxter. That's the trouble with Google - it rather spoils this sort of "competition". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adli Posted September 11, 2011 Share #8311 Posted September 11, 2011 Without google this thread had stopped long time ago, people are posting pics from so many obscure places. On the other hand, it does not seem as people are using google that much. It took some time before someone googled statue and hands and hong kong to find the answer.

Jinxter Posted September 11, 2011 Share #8312 Posted September 11, 2011 Ok, lets keep the Mr.! This one shouldn't be too difficult...what's the name of the town? Welcome, dear visitor!

adli Posted September 11, 2011 Share #8313 Posted September 11, 2011 The sign on the building looks French, but I am unable to read it :-) Are we in south France? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipus Posted September 11, 2011 Share #8314 Posted September 11, 2011 Over to you Jinxter. That's the trouble with Google - it rather spoils this sort of "competition". I also figured out (too late) that it was HK but i used another method than consulting Google. I had a look at your website (_very_ nice!) and in the hope that you might have posted a similar photo. But there was none so I thought that I had come to a dead end. Search terms like "big statue two hands Asia" (I had a feeling due to the tree it would be in Asia) didn't bring me any closer. The I went back to your site and saw that you had posted under news/blog that you had recently returned from HK. Another search and then I found what it was. Thanks for an interesting 'mystery', Brian. Kind regards Philip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxter Posted September 11, 2011 Share #8315 Posted September 11, 2011 Even more south than south France... If it helps here is the 100% crop of the sign...

otto.f Posted September 11, 2011 Share #8320 Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Right country...but not Catalonia... Swim south! Interesting: I'm quite sure that 'carrer de esglesia' is catalonian language, in spanish/castillan it would be 'calle de iglesia'. PS: I just sorted out that the catalonian language area goes as far as Murcia I guess it should be somewhere between Barcelona and Tarregona Edited September 11, 2011 by otto.f Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
