Totally blanked on Reykjavik - but in desperation tried "Rosseau," which accidentally gave me another answer!

The buildings in that picture are widely recognisable as those of North Africa.

White and blue so mediterranean, the vegetation looks North African too and the tower looks kinda like a minaret. It's also intuition once you've seen many north african buildings.

Right! When I saw the picture, I immediately thought about a mediterranean capital.

I guessed and guessed when it came to that country with the castle...

Slovenia, Slovakia, Serbia, Austria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland, Ukraine, Moldova, Kosovo, Montenegro, Albania, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Russia and Bulgaria until I was like: huh, what am I forgetting? ROMANIA!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

Rangoon is not a former name of Yangon. It is an alternative name that is (still) widely used. (according to the Oxford English Dictionary)

"Yangon, formerly known as Rangoon,..." is the first sentence in the Wikipedia article on the city. The name was officially changed 30 years ago. If anyone is still using the former name then they are doing so either ignorantly or obstinately. Regardless, they'd be incorrect.

Something can be both a former name and an alternative name.

Looking at the world map shown here, I thought Brazil was half rain forest. I know it's been shrinking drastically, but still... there's hardly anything left!

Rotterdam? I don't know which Dutch or perhaps Belgian city that is but it surely is not Rotterdam. Let's just say the Germans didn't leave that many buildings during their bombing of the city, so most buildings in R'dam are from after the war.

I'd use a picture of the Erasmus bridge, the skyline, the cube houses or the market hall for Rotterdam.

Never heard of cube houses so had to look them up. Pretty cool to look at, but seems like there would be a lot of wasted space in them. Thanks for the info, very interesting.

It's kind of ironic that you think there'd be a lot of wasted space in them as they were specifically designed to optimise the use of space

I didn't immediately recognize it as Rotterdam either, as a Dutchman. But the houses look really Dutch, and there's water so you think of a port city, and it starts with R... it was still my first guess.

So according to you, not a single building was left? Were you there to count them? Besides there being a difference between mostly and completely. It was the (historic) Center that was bombed and nearly (not totally) completely destroyed, the affected area was about 1 square mile.

you were correct in the observation that those are pre ww2 buildings. One of the buildings in the picture was build in 1653 (didnt know that by heart, but found it in less than a minute by doing a search with the picture)

The entire borough of delftshaven was left untouched by the bombardment

Here is an english wikipedia article which covers the borough too. (Apparently Piet Hein was born there. And it is the place the pilgrim fathers set off from, well half of them, they were joined by other separists waiting for them in england, to make the journey together. Which ended up being made with one ship instead of the planned 2)

Dude.... Just google "rotterdam old town." Literally the first result is the image of those buildings. The borough is called Delfshaven and is most definitely more famous than your silly cube houses.

Don't see the point of accepting a swedish name for a german answer in a quiz in english. That's like accepting "Países Baixos" for Netherlands in a quiz in french

I would suggest the hint for Reichstag be changed to "_____tag" instead of "____stag". The word is composed of Reichs (of the Reich) and tag. Currently you're breaking up the syllable, which I read is frowned upon, even in English.

It took me 2 minutes to find French Riviera. I kept trying to find south regions that start with an R but the only one that exists didn't work.

I'm pretty sure that's not Mt. Rainier, but Mt. Baker. I live in Sequim, WA and see it everyday if the weather is clear, distinctive mountain. Mt. Baker is north of Seattle, Rainier is far south - the picture looks to be taken towards the north, with the needle on the west, and the Kingdom which is SE of the needle.

It's definitely Mt. Rainier. I can see both mountains from my house.
