***Hans*** · Dec 4 2010, 05:14 AM

jube · Dec 4 2010, 07:47 AM

Middle Eastern Country?

***Hans*** · Dec 4 2010, 07:55 AM

From a Colonial European perspective?

Yes

P'ter · Dec 4 2010, 09:08 AM

Turkey?

***Hans*** · Dec 4 2010, 12:27 PM

Yes, in Turkey

Brenda · Dec 4 2010, 10:31 PM

Mashed potatoes?

(Just kidding...)

jube · Dec 4 2010, 10:42 PM

How's the saying go, "familiarity breeds contempt"? No offence but I've seen this before or something similiar. Maybe my daleks have come back to haunt me again. See if Hans remembers me saying this before somewhere else.

Mali district?

***Hans*** · Dec 5 2010, 04:16 AM

Sorry Jube, I can't find a Mali district in Turkey. Can you rephrase your question?

jube · Dec 5 2010, 06:38 AM

Mali, Djenne area then?

***Hans*** · Dec 5 2010, 07:52 AM

Ah...

Jube, the country of Mali and the city of Djenne are in Africa.

P'ter already established this is in Turkey in his first question.

Greenrider Tresa · Dec 5 2010, 02:34 PM

I know what Jube's thinking of...as that was one of my pics! Lol.

Istanbul?

GinnyStar · Dec 5 2010, 03:02 PM

I don't have a clue, but I do have a question, related something Han said.

Quote:

From a Colonial European perspective?

, From England?

***Hans*** · Dec 5 2010, 03:25 PM

Tresa: no

Ginny, no, from a European point of view.

jube · Dec 5 2010, 11:35 PM

Slight bit of confusion then - no worries. Just remember seeing a similiar archectitual viewpoint and thought of it - at least G.Tresa knew what I meant

Okay then.... east of line from Samsun to Gaziantep?

***Hans*** · Dec 6 2010, 02:48 AM

Jube: no

jube · Dec 6 2010, 04:50 AM

south western corner of Turkey?

***Hans*** · Dec 6 2010, 07:24 AM

Jube: no

P'ter · Dec 6 2010, 10:58 AM

Adana province?

***Hans*** · Dec 7 2010, 03:42 AM

P'ter: no

jube · Dec 7 2010, 03:58 AM

In/nearby to a town starting A-M? (Nearby being within 30kms of said town).

P'ter · Dec 7 2010, 05:51 AM

Is it in a province bordering another country?

***Hans*** · Dec 7 2010, 01:01 PM

Jube: yes

P'ter: no

Greenrider Tresa · Dec 7 2010, 04:07 PM

North of a line from Baliksir to Karakose?

***Hans*** · Dec 7 2010, 04:41 PM

Tresa: no

Greenrider Tresa · Dec 7 2010, 06:44 PM

West of Ankara?

jube · Dec 8 2010, 12:52 AM

East of Ankara - well up to my line of Samsun/Gazientap?

GinnyStar · Dec 8 2010, 04:35 PM

Is it in a province bordering a sea?

spacedog · Dec 8 2010, 11:24 PM

In or around Ankara?

***Hans*** · Dec 9 2010, 03:16 AM

Tresa: yes

Jube: no

Ginny: yes

Thus Spacedog: no

Greenrider Tresa · Dec 9 2010, 03:17 PM

Izmir province?

jube · Dec 9 2010, 11:35 PM

Cappadocia?

***Hans*** · Dec 10 2010, 06:39 AM

Tresa: no

Jube: no (not bordering the sea

)

GinnyStar · Dec 10 2010, 02:49 PM

Near the Black Sea?

***Hans*** · Dec 10 2010, 03:40 PM

Ginny: no

***Hans*** · Dec 16 2010, 03:20 PM

Hmmm, maybe a hint is in order.

It is on the south coast of Turkey.

jube · Dec 16 2010, 03:31 PM

Between Antalya and Mersin?

***Hans*** · Dec 16 2010, 04:07 PM

Yes Jube.

***Hans*** · Dec 23 2010, 05:09 AM

If there is no more activity I'll give the answer on Friday.

Maybe we should give this game a general rest for a while.

spacedog · Dec 29 2010, 02:48 AM

My question ... is it a fortress?

Jube forgot to ask if it was a temple? (She's getting the spuds organised).

***Hans*** · Dec 29 2010, 07:04 AM

Spacedog, no to your and Jube's suggestion.

I forgot my own promise to end this...

It is the OXYD discotheque in Side on the Turkish south coast, not far from Antalya. (Side , pronounce; see-duh) The club/disco is the largest and best in that town.
The peculiar building style that Jube recognised is often seen in places where people build with clay / adobe. I have seen it in Africa, Near Asia and southwest United States.

Have / hope you had a nice meal!
