I saw that Guess the airport thread and said why not make another but a bit easier i think.

So give you a picture of a city and a hint (like so...)

Hint: There's as many rats as people.

Example: thats New York City U.S.A.

Now down to it, what city is this.

Hint: the weather sucks.

Funny how you say the weather sucks when that is a false stereotype set by foreign media. London actually gets better weather than Madrid, just cooler.

It depends on your likes.

For me, London just stays too cool year round. Summers are nice there but they're more like fall and spring where I'm from.

    Yes it is London. And I am aware the weather isn't always bad but if I say the weather is fair with mild temperatures year round, with a chance of rain I've described a large chunk of the world. How come no one commented on the Rats of NYC, the fact isn't true. (there's more)

    On to the next city. An easy one, I think (but of then I know which city it is).

    Hint: The airport code is YYZ and is where the first Imax was built.

    Because  it's a smaller picture it's also a link to larger photo.

    So off you go, have fun.

    Yes, please keep them under 800x600. I'll have to delete your earlier ones unless you edit them.

    Now on to number three this is a though one I think it an interesting city because its actually two.

    Hint: One city is the birth place of  the blackberry and houses one of the best universities in the world. The other holds the largest octoberfest outside of Germany.

    Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

    It was a total coincedence that I knew that last one... I was just reading about the biggest oktoberfest outside of Germany. It's fun when useless knowledge pays off. 

    Ok, I got 2 in a row... Can you tell work is slow today? I'll lay off for a bit to give others a try (even though it will be hard).

    Correct it was Rio.

    Muck- I had the same thing at my office a few months ago, I had watched a special on switzerland a looked knowledgable to my bosses when we were opening a account in Bern, so in the end I had a free trip (well work week) to Bern.

    But I digress, the next city as seen below.

    Hint: Opera

    Sydney, Australia.

    I got that one without needing the clue, but you should probably try to avoid making the clues too easy. It's fun to look at the airphoto & try to figure out where it is rather than immediately know the city because of the easy clue.

    Great game though; I'll continue playing for sure! 4.gif

    Yes that was and probably still is Sydney.

    I've decided on the recomendation of berubium to not give a hint right away. Instead i'll just give you the city photo and see how you guys do. If after a while no one is getting the correct response then I'll give out a hint.

    So here we go with number Six...

    Hint: Not this time buddy 28.gif (thats a joke not a hint, it's hard to be sarcastic in written word)

    NumberSix.jpg

    Photo's a link to... well a larger photo

    Good luck and God speed

    I can see the champs de march mars, the jardin du luxembourg, ile de la city, the seine, and the paris-typical road layout

    Wow, I was just looking at Paris on Google Maps about 2 minutes ago. How weird. I though that looked incredibly familiar....

    I've been to every one of these cities (except Waterloo and RDJ) so that helps in recognizing them... How about posting some asian cities? That would add a degree of difficulty. Merely a suggestion though.
