    Default Geography Game

    Simple - show a picture of an area on google map (taking care not to show the grid reference of course) and everyone else guesses where it is. Whoever gets it right provides the next question.

    Obviously it must be at least vaguely recognisable, no 50m shots of the Sahara desert please. I will go first -



    Very easy with a slight twist. It is in the Eastern Hemisphere, not that that will help you much.
    A new mobile phone tower went up in a town in the USA, and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cellphone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health.

    A local administrator was asked to comment. He nodded sagely, and said simply: "Wow. And think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational."

    I think this might be a bit hard, mate. Would have to give hints or something in order to get this ball rolling.

    I like games like this though

    LOL! I'll be honest this is pretty hard, so I guess another hint is in order

    Hint: I can be found in the second largest(In terms of land mass) country in the world. That's should make this easier!

    Oh and @ Orko and P014K, maybe because I was using Photobucket Anyways I changed it and re downloaded it through Bumsoft this time
