Post by: oilfilter on August 07, 2005, 08:21:45 PM
Tibet is an area/region, not a city.
Guess the city.
The mountains are a clue.
The huge war memorial is a clue.

Okay, you are guessing the right continent, wrong geographical area.

Just a sec, now that I think back upon it, I am not 100% sure that it is a war memorial, but its an 'important' monument/memorial nonetheless.

Sorry for the misleading hint, if it created any confusion.
