Where's that?
« on: Apr 18, 2009, 08:08:54 PM »
This is a game started by Casper over at ILS, but I think it's a lot of fun, so I wanna start one here.

Basically I'll start by posting a picture of a location, and whoever guesses what and where it is first posts a new picture.

Make sure that if you post a picture you host it yourself with an nondescript file name, or find an image that already has a nondescript file name.

If you are 100% sure you are right go ahead and post your own pic, if not wait till the poster confirms.

I'll start:

"some pub" is pretty insulting.  :P

I'm kinda surprised you haven't been there, Sordid.

The ceiling is actually what gives it away. There's a big clue in the ceiling.

Man, it's been like five years since I was last in a pub. :-\ It looks like one of the expensive, pseudo-historical pubs in the old city here that cater almost exclusively to the tourists, but which one it might be I have no idea.

It isn't in the Czech Republic.

Well it wouldn't be out of place here, is what I guess I meant to say. But I don't see why you'd say you're surprised I haven't been there, then. I haven't travelled abroad in, what, ten years?

I dunno, I suppose I generalize that other people feel the same way I do, but it's like a Mecca to me. :P

I don't want to give any more hints, though! I'm sure someone has been there!

Is it in Germany?
I think I can make out some German on the walls and I see some oak leaves... maybe.
But really the decor could be anything from Medieval to Ottoman to American Southwest.

Hofbräuhaus, Munich, Germany. The Bavarian flag pattern on the ceiling and the fact that I've been there before helped a lot :D

There's, another example. See, here I'm now sitting by myself, uh, er, talking to myself. That's, that's chaos.

Right! Your turn to post one.

The bavarian flags in the ceiling actually used to be swastikas. For some reason they were just painted over with flags that retain the shape.

Sweet!

I didn't know about the paintjob, but it makes sense.

Here's the next image:
