Just for fun

Just for kicks and giggles...

Can anyone guess what country this is? There's a hint in it, but you have to look closely.

Well by the looks of the stop sign I'm gonna say the US. Is this a trick question? ; )

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. Big trick question. You find those stop signs all over the world. I think they're out #1 export.

[semyaza.livejournal.com]

Australia? Or it could be South Africa.

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

5 points for being in the right hemisphere.

[semyaza.livejournal.com]

I'm assuming that it's a country where they drive on the left. I'll leave it at that. :)

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

Oh, good catch! There's actually 2 hints in post.

[semyaza.livejournal.com]

Uganda?

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

Close. Check out what I'm listening to for one of the hints.

[semyaza.livejournal.com]

Heh. I don't read the books so I didn't catch on to that. I was going to list all of the smaller southern African nations but that seemed like overkill. :D

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

LOL! I've learned a lot about Botswana from those books. Lovely stories.

[semyaza.livejournal.com]

If I'd been able to see the round building properly I might have guessed sooner. What's the exact location?

Never mind - I see you've given the location.

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

Palapye. 3rd RR crossing from the left of town. Yes, I was in a dilemma about posting a closeup of that house.

[semyaza.livejournal.com]

It's no fun if you make it too easy. :)

[erviniae.livejournal.com]

USA? Due to the STOP sign?

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

Nope, nope. Not in our continent. Look closer and guess again.

[mdarkdreamer.livejournal.com]

Is it Mali?

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

Oh, good guess! You're too far north.

[mdarkdreamer.livejournal.com]

The pic wont blow up for me to see the details and all I could make out that was ''diffrent'', was the stripes on the stiop sign pole, and Mali's flag is yellow and green so....

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

The hint in the picture is a house. there's another hint which might have to do with what I'm listening to....

[mdarkdreamer.livejournal.com]

Botswana

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

You got it! The round house with the thatched roof is a traditional Botswana house.

[erviniae.livejournal.com]

Norway?

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

Wrong hemisphere.

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

BOTSWANA!
I got it from the tip of what you're "listening to"!!

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

You got it. OMG, you have a Mma Ramaotzwe icon. Love her.

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

I love her tooooo! :D
And I posted a whole bunch of icons here if you want one: http://whirligigz.livejournal.com/777.html

Excellent - thank you. Saved a few of those. I really love the books - they have them on audibles and I've been treating myself. I'm on #5 and glad there are so many to go. I love Grace. Did you know her shoes talk to her? Lol. She's like a kid at Christmas.

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Graaaace! She grew up in my hometown, you know! (The actress, obviously, not Grace. hee.) I've only read through the end of book three. *sadface* I need to get back in there! ;)

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, you must. Grace starts her own business (a men's typing school) and was able to move to a better place and send more money to her family. She was in one room before that and had to share an outside water spout with 3 other families. What hometown is that?

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Hartford, Connecticut!
Aww, Grace. Yay! :)

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

And by book 11 she has a fiance!!! Go, Grace! I never pictured her as a New Englander!

[keiliss.livejournal.com]

It looks like somewhere here, but that would be too easy. The crossing sign is in English though, so -- Kenya? Namibia?

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

Close, but no cigar!

[girlspell.livejournal.com]

South Africa?

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

Very close - next county north. Botswana.

[silver-trails.livejournal.com]

A country in Africa? I'd say South Africa, but that would be too easy, no?

[aglarien1.livejournal.com]

One country north of S.A.

[silver-trails.livejournal.com]

I saw later! =)
