    They are indeed. Didn't know Plopsa had an amusement park there until I googled the place earlier tonight, also didn't know the waterfalls themselves are apparently also owned by Studio100 (basically Belgian Disney). It's been a while since I was there.

    This must be the Inca site of Moray, located not too far from Cusco in Peru.

    This is Nanshan buddhist temple's statue west of Sanya on Hainan island.

    That is indeed the case.

    A little nugget of wisdom on my part, pay attention to Hainan for the next few years, it's importance will only go up.

    That must be the AT&T Plaza within Millenium Park in the city of Chicago, quite hard not to miss the Cloud Gate .

    Realm is right, and I can tell he didn't know the before starting his research. Because all locals call it The Bean

    If someone is interested in joining, this comp is very much about research. It is not considered cheating.

    Correct!

    This is likely the cheapest way to get into Singapore if you want to go in from Malaysia, just be prepared for a long bus ride and an even longer wait at customs (All before Covid graced us all with its ominous spectre....)

    Never mind the rep. With so few participants it's not doable anyway.

    Thanks and no. It is in the United States though.

    End I guess "liberty" has a lot to do with its historical significance.
