Where in the World #105 - A Meeting of Minds

Apocalypse · Jun 5 2007, 02:17 PM

I know I've been missing in action lately... but I promise I'll be around more!

Mary · Jun 5 2007, 02:57 PM

Egypt?

Apocalypse · Jun 5 2007, 03:31 PM

No.

P'ter · Jun 5 2007, 03:44 PM

Mongolia?

Apocalypse · Jun 5 2007, 04:19 PM

No, not Mongolia - someone fixed it for me!

Greenrider Tresa · Jun 5 2007, 04:26 PM

Saudi Arabia?

Lily · Jun 5 2007, 05:13 PM

Australia?

(Actually I don't think it is Australia - but you never know)

P'ter · Jun 5 2007, 05:57 PM

China?

**Cheryl** · Jun 5 2007, 08:49 PM

An Arabic country?

mawra · Jun 5 2007, 09:20 PM

egypt

mawra · Jun 5 2007, 09:23 PM

never mind on egypt.

Is it saudi arabia

Kath · Jun 6 2007, 03:46 AM

I was going to say China as well...

*waits*

Flinx · Jun 6 2007, 08:19 AM

The camels are Bactrian, which are native to steppes of Asia.

Kath · Jun 6 2007, 08:28 AM

D'Oh! Completely missed the fact that they had two humps...

*wanders off whistling the Alice the Camel song*

**Cheryl** · Jun 6 2007, 08:40 AM

Oooh, novel approach Flinx!

So, new question, is the picture from the native range of Bactrian camels as show on Flinx's little map?

***Hans*** · Jun 6 2007, 10:27 AM

Israel?

Apocalypse · Jun 6 2007, 12:43 PM

P'ter is right - China

No.

***Hans*** · Jun 6 2007, 02:29 PM

Does the Cinese province in which this picture is taken have a G in its name?

Apocalypse · Jun 6 2007, 03:06 PM

No.

***Hans*** · Jun 6 2007, 03:12 PM

Does the province name end in 'an'

Apocalypse · Jun 6 2007, 03:44 PM

Also no.

***Hans*** · Jun 6 2007, 04:00 PM

Does the province have a coast line?

Apocalypse · Jun 6 2007, 04:03 PM

Yes

Mary · Jun 6 2007, 04:23 PM

Jiangsu?

They are existing well as a domesticated animal. But unfortunately they are almost extinct in the wild, apparently less than 1000 exist in the wild.

Greenrider Tresa · Jun 7 2007, 04:19 PM

Jilin? Looks like it's the only one without a G or an...

***Hans*** · Jun 8 2007, 04:32 AM

Is it in Hebei province?

Apocalypse · Jun 8 2007, 01:06 PM

That's the province, yes...

There's a more precise answer though.... but we can stop now if someone else wants a go!

***Hans*** · Jun 8 2007, 05:23 PM

Understood, I never thought Hebei would be anywhere near precise enough

North or south of Bejing?

Apocalypse · Jun 8 2007, 05:33 PM

North

***Hans*** · Jun 10 2007, 04:38 AM

At/near Zhangjiakou?

Apocalypse · Jun 10 2007, 10:29 AM

I don't know

The image wasn't taken inside a city.

***Hans*** · Jun 10 2007, 02:48 PM

Hmm, so you want the name of a "touristic spot" rather than a place/city?

tameeria · Jun 11 2007, 03:00 AM

Is it in the Badain Jaran Desert?

Apocalypse · Jun 11 2007, 02:05 PM

Nope.

***Hans*** · Jun 11 2007, 03:51 PM

Can you answer my question, Apo?

Apocalypse · Jun 12 2007, 01:19 PM

Ah sorry - my dear - yes I do!

***Hans*** · Jun 15 2007, 03:06 AM

Is it at or near the parts of the Great Wall in this province?
