Try closing your eyes and pointing to a map. It's probably as good a method as any other.

Your browser smells. Get the latest Firefox, works fine for me.

Nope, not Istanbul.

I have a couple hunches, but my architecture knowledge is not too great. Is it north or south of the Narmada river?

Mumbai/Bombay seems too easy and I cannot find proper pics.

Madras?

P.S.:
Do not try googling "Bombay" and "palace". You will get hundreds of restaurant pics. Some are very cosy:

It's north of the Narmada river.

Not Mumbai or Kolkata. A massive clue for y'all; this place is home to three UNESCO world heritage sites.

Nope! Seems you guys are struggling a bit.

Some more clues;
It had 1.4 million people living there circa 2001.
It is on the banks of a river.

The river bank clue made it.

Agra it is! Home of the Taj Mahal.

Yup! One of the three UNESCO World Heritage sites; the others are Agra Fort (which the piccies are of) and Fatehpur Sikri (an old Mughal city).

Nope.

I admit the first pics are not easy. The very first pic is meant to confuse.

WTF?

Which beach it is I don't know, but it is Sylt island.
How on earth can someone find this out if not living there? I even pixelised the "Deutsche Bank" sign in the first pic.

You got better?

If she floats, she weighs the same as a duck, and is therefore made of wood...then she's a witch!

Burn her anyway!

Now we have the official proof! She admitted it and has changed her avatar!

But I think the witchcraft is in pic 3 and called photoshop?

Should be somewhere in Europe, but I don't have any real clue.
Maybe Gent?

All right, maybe not witchcraft, but certainly a bit of trickery. Thanks for the new avatar. It's just what I needed!
