"An obscure part of the world".
The building seablonde is refering to is the Uzbekistan Hotel, as located by tumulpi via the museum. But as keeping with finders rights being tumulpi did the leg work, he wins the round.
Oh shit, didn't read attentively enough without having noticed the ornamental artwork. Just thought about "museum" - "famous person centuries ago"; you're right.
By saying "obscure" I didn't mean to offend any Uzbeki members of Peachy, to whom I sincerely apologize.
Tumulpi, that "American view" of the world is sadly even clearer than what the average person here sees, which isn't much in the way of any concept of geography or history, or even current events beyond gossip and sports. I was fortunate to have been exposed to world maps while collecting stamps as a lad in an admittedly very "obscure" part of the MidWest.
So, I guess we await your next challenge, Mr. Moderator
Thanks for that "elephant" graphic, Minger. Here's something for you that might explain some aspects of U.S. success. I'm told I have some Scottish in me, but more is English I'm afraid
