Rangoon?



Terminus -> RE: Where's this? (7) (7/17/2005 1:08:15 AM)

Not urban enough, methinks...



ZekeNY -> RE: Where's this? (7) (7/17/2005 2:16:25 AM)

Milne Bay / Gili Gili.



Mark VII -> RE: Where's this? (7) (7/17/2005 2:19:22 AM)

More importantly, I think Rangoon is some 20 miles inland from the Gulf of Martaban. There is some kind of water way that leads up to Rangoon but I don't think it is not as wide as this water way appears. However, I could be wrong.



Terminus -> RE: Where's this? (7) (7/17/2005 2:26:47 AM)

Oh yeah... I just looked up Rangoon on Google maps, and there's a very wide river that runs from the sea to the city. Also, it runs north-south, not west-east, as seen here.

It is Milne Bay. Found it on Google Maps. Cookie for ZekeNy...
