Geography quiz

Posted by Sigismund on January 3, 2008, at 16:30:13

I'm off to the other side of the world to where I *most* want to go (Bolivia!).

Where I'm going is north of me and north then south of you.

East of you, but also west (of course).

West of me, but only just.

And not Lake Baykal or Harbin either....no ice cathedrals or frozen lakes for me (:

But close enough.

Where is it?

Oh My Goodness!!


Hubby's & my guess is Indonesia??

Kath

We didn't look at a map or globe...are we allowed to?

:-) Kath

ps - are you REALLY going or is this just a fun quiz?

Makes me think of a game we used to play as kids: "My Aunt went to New York & in her suitcase she took....."

- You go around the circle & each person adds something that their Aunt took - the funnier the better. Each person has to list all the things that their Aunt previously packed, so it can get pretty funny....I am sick, so haven't the brain to think up funny stuff.

"My Aunt went to New York & in her suitcase she took some frayed bluejeans, an orphaned elephant, 3 pale yellow hairclips, a tube of shocking pink lipstick, yesterday's crumpled newspaper, a half-eaten bag of Cheezies...." etc.

So anyhow, are you really going somewhere?

hugs, Kath

Use of a globe is encouraged.

The destination is north and a little east of Indonesia.

Well, that is a bit easier Sig. Just looked on a map - could it be Borneo? or New Guinea? Malaysia?

Or, do we only get one guess.

 

One guess???? hmmmmmmmmmmm

You may have as many guesses as you wish.

Borneo, New Guinea and Malaysia are not the correct destination.

Clue: South of Sakhalin, East of the Tian Shan Mountains.

Oh no, Kath, of course I'm going to it.

My innocent nature does not permit subterfuge :)

Well, you got me there. My world map doesn't show mountain ranges. Sakhalin is supposed to be somewhere in or near Russia from what I searched on the web, and the Tian Shan mountains in central Asia. So, kind of south and east - two more guesses and I leave it to someone else to pin it!

Singapore or Taiwan?

lol. That was fun.

Not quite!

Not really!

You are, however, getting warmer.

You sure know how to tempt someone. Couldn't resist the 'warmer' - so one more shot. Here goes: Thailand or Japan.

Cool Beans!! That was fun.

I'm rather occupied today & don't know HOW things will turn out, but when things calm down I'm interested in playing agian. Funny - hubby & I were thinking Japan maybe, but thought that wasn't tricky enough!! LOL

I was hoping someone was going to say North Korea.

 

OK - I'm off somewhere........where am I going?

In reply to Re: The winner is » Sigismund, posted by Kath on January 4, 2008, at 10:00:27

I've actually been there a few times & would go again in a snap if it wasn't so "bespensive" as one of my kids used to say.

It's Southeast of me (I'm N of Toronto).

And it's warm..that's all you're getting for a hint yet. I'll give more if nec. Oh - it's warm year-round.

:-))) Kath

You're off for a slow sail around the Sargasso Sea?

Hmmm. I am thinking snowbird! It's got to be Florida or Cuba.

In reply to Re: OK - I'm off somewhere........where am I going, posted by Sigismund on January 6, 2008, at 2:01:47

No slow sailing, snowbirding or cigar smoking!!

lol

Cuba's the closest so far.

If I went there by mistake, I'd have to hop aboard a dolphin & head due East, then South

Any guesses?

:-) Jeez - I wish I REALLY were going there.

Thanks for identifying yourself. I don't go to Admin often.

N'uh uh again.

OKay you guys, you obviously need more clues.

Get out your atlases or globes.

The country is a LOVE of mine; have been there 6 times & BOY is it expensive, but oh so wonderful.

Link the 3 Saints. Go straight to my LOVE to form an arrowhead.
The tip of the arrowhead is in my heart!

Boy. You know how to make someone work! lol. I gave it a looksie. In that southeast vicinity, I came up with St. Lucia, St. Kittis and St. Vincent, linked up and kind of making a point my guess is: Barbados?

Haven't done that much geography since High School!

Really specifically, it's Bottom Bay in Barbados.

It's a lovely beach. You park at the top & walk down curving rock steps to this amazing idyllic beach with the tallest palm trees you can imagine.

Much to my husband's & my surprise, there were various young, nice-bodied women naked on this beach!!! Even cavorting in the water (up to their ankles, so as not to hide any of their charms). We joked that it's not named 'Bottom' Bay for no reason!!

Anyway, here's a link (no bottoms in sight!!)

Wow. I got it. Yay.

I've seen topless beaches but not completely naked beaches. Mmmm, that sand and water and sunshine look sooo peaceful and relaxing. I can see why you love the place.
