      True, but you have to admit that it's impressive how much better the same location looks in the more recent streetview: although the disappearance of the industrial activity has left many ugly scars on the city, they still try to make the best of it, which I think is pretty admirable.

      @` It's easy - just learn what phonetic sounds the letters make. I learned the Greek alphabet just through my university physics, math and engineering classes so now I can "read" Greek. Russian is similar enough to Greek to where I can always guess what the words are saying. For an example, in this case I could read that the writing on the building said something like "POLIKLINIKA".

      @` You don't learn the entire language in an hour, you just learn the alphabet; around 30 different squiggles, some of which are the same as in the Latin alphabet you already know. You won't actually be able to read (that implies understanding), but you will be able to sound out writing and that usually means that you can look up meanings in Google Translate and figure out place names even without help. This isn't difficult for Cyrillic because it developed from Greek uncial script; Peter the Great also westernized it in the 18th century. Once you know the Russian version, you can quickly learn what differences exist in other languages using a Cyrillic alphabet. Greek is pretty easy too; most of us already know some Greek letters from math.
      It is harder for languages that use abugidas (consonant+vowel combination units such as Thai), syllabaries (the consonant+vowel unit cannot be split apart; Japanese has two plus logographs), and inconceivable for those that use logographs (Chinese).

    - Bradesco is a Brazilian bank, they are all over the country.
    - License plates have 3 letters and 4 numbers and they are gray (although they've changed recently)
    - Citroen, Honda, Fiat, Ford, Chevrolet, Renault, Peugeot are super common here
    Well Park, estacione bem, "estacione bem" can be roughly translated to "park nicely" or "well parked", I wouldn't notice this horrible pun if you didn't mention it.

I even managed to get Chelyabinsk correct, as I think the name of the city is barely readable in Cyrillic as the last word on the plate on the side of the truck that is parked nearby (at least you can kind of see the initial "Ч..." and the "...инск" ending, that is...)

    1 - I looked so much for Boulevard Tirou. Charleroi was literally my first thought and the first city i looked at. I even looked at french cities near the border and Luxembourg too. Looked at every major city of Belgium with french named roads. Couldn't find it. Was split up between Charleroi, Mons and Brussels for my final decision, it didn't look as much as a such major city but Brussels had more Boulevards and smaller ones that i could miss so ended up going there. 4825 points.
    2 - Found Bunbury literally as i zoomed in for the first time in Australia. Looked for churches in Bunbury but ended up finding it through the Australian Post. 5000 points.
    3 - Looking around the south coast of Salvador. Looked better where the direction of the roads correlated. Was looking for Moura (which i thought it was an hotel) and for the bank. Found Tecidos Moura pretty quickly. 5000 points.
    4 - No idea whatsoever. Went somewhere in Yukon. 1163 points.
    5 - Went for Bulgaria. Completely off xD 593 points

    rd. 1: 4560 I guessed Riems, not terrible by my standard.
    rd. 2: 5000 i recognized the Holden before i saw the .au very lucky to find the city, easy once found.
    rd. 3: 49 I was convinced it was the african part of Spain. not enough to go on at least for me. cant believe you got this.
    rd. 4: 2884 I went for Eugene OR, was thinking Bend also. Very Hard. Haunting to watch you start it after working on it for 15 min.
    rd. 5: 971 I guessed Crimea because I figured it was southern and not in the eu. fantastic.
    first time trying hard at this, pretty fun to play along. got a 13464.

    A lot of towns in the western US have a prominent letter on the mountainside. Often it's the high school name (might be named after the town), or a local college. For example, Gunnison, Colorado has a big "W" which stands for Western Colorado University. Golden has a big "M" for the Colorado School of Mines.

    A tip to distinguish between Ukrainian and Russian: Ukrainian has the letters i, ї, and є (and I mean in cyrillic - if you see a "vein aesthetic clinic", none of those i's matter at all); Russian has э, ъ, and ы, which looks like two letters but is actually one letter (in the scenario that you'll see Ukrainian writing containing ьї - two separate letters btw - you can tell it apart by the dots). Ukrainian is also far more likely to contain the ' symbol inside a word.

    For me, the standout guess of this round is the one in Missoula. I never would've found that. Absolutely insane.

    2) Easy one. - 5000
    3) Searched for agggges. Convinced myself it was central/south America, but Spanish-speaking. Searched the south-east coast of a lot of places. Then remembered there's an area/city called Salvador in Brazil. Took some searching. - 5000
    4) Dropped in, thought 'Ooh that looks like Montana'. Span around 'Hey there's that giant M in Missoula' Thanks to a Hank Green video many years ago. - 5000
    5) Searched around for a LOT for cities in/around Russia that had trams. Settled on Chelyabinsk because it had the best fit, and loaads of tramways. Then got frustrated and picked somewhere in the north of the city. (Looking at the map afterwards, it's pretty much impossible. The roads are different, and that clinic I kept searching for wasn't there) - 4963

    2- Knew we were in Aussie bc of the website, and driving on the left, but couldn't find 'Bunbury' anywhere. Obvs didn't look hard enough smh. Went in Sydney because of that cool building lol, got 486 points, 50/50 chance of the coasts really!
    3- Saw the Spanish/Portuguese writing, and the coast, but nothing else but the 'Salvador' on the van. Might as well go for El Salvador even though I didn't think we were there, what else is there to go by lol. Might as well risk it even though i HIGHLY doubt the google van can even goes there hahaha. Went south of the capital and yeahhhh was 4000 miles off. Did NOT know Salvador was a place in Brazil, 🤷‍♂️ 55 Points!
    4- Literally, NO idea here. I'm not good at this, could be america, spain, scandinavia in my head, literally anywhere tbh, had USA vibes so should have with my instinct, just because of the Baseball stadium. Went Spain and got 0 points surprisingly
    5- Saw cyrillic writing or whatever its called and didnt want to go Russia, might as well risk it and go somewhere else. No clues as to what city so went near Kiev and got 1.3k points

    2. 5000. Looked for Bunbury all around the coast... thought just like you at first that it was in Queenland or on the sunshine coast. Took quite some time but easy enough.
    3. 5000. Saw "estacione bem" which is portuguese, and Salvador, went for Salvador de bahia and looked for the something-Moura hotel on the south-east coast.
    4. 5000. Instantly had that Spokane vibe, but it looked like a smaller town. That with the 'M' that looked like a university logo, I went upstream from Spokane into Montana, stopped at Missoula because it may have been what the M was for and it had mountains all around, and found that perfectly fitting bridge :)
    5. 1721. Gutted when there were no real clues to go by... clicked somewhere in the suburbs of Moscow because the tag with "RU" suggested russia at least.
    Real interesting round altogether !
