National Palace Museum Taiwan

Legends will legend.

I'd like to know how you (and fillippone, who's got to have kicked the major assist) did it.
I'm always clueless with WOW games and always eager to learn a neat trick.
This is how I do it...
Look at the picture closely for items that are searchable.
- Names
- Patterns
- Buildings
- Views
- etc.
Looked at the upload time which could help... However the date on the paper was different. I therefore knew you had no internet so you were abroad probably...
In your picture we only had a pavement pattern to go with. I learned it was a basket weave.
You run through google with searches like "city square", "city plaza", etc. to see if anything gets close.
Once you are close you can usually figure out the country. Your picture could match anything from portugal to china... (and apparently taiwan

)
The pavement pattern is quite unique actually. I only found it at the Chernobyl monument but they were smaller tiles. So a guess was done...
I still believe the first picture might be enough to find the location.
I started looking at your posts and figured out you like football so I ran through pictures of stadiums ...
I looked at locations that one would visit on vacation. Maybe FIFA world cup locations....
All possible suspects are checked via Google Earth streetview...
Once I saw the building I was lost. It looked like a government building. Something official... looked up everything from KGB to NATO headquaters...
The pillars looked substantial so I looked for skyscrapers....
Clothing gave away that it was not Africa nor Siberia

Looked up guard clothing, no dice...
Again nothing and I was more lost than ever...
In the meanwhile I ran all pictures through reverse image search with no hits...
The last picture gave away everything. It was something like China.... anywhere where they write with scribbly stuff

Reverse image search gave me 10 hits on the same location of which I could directly see it was the right location....
That is how I did it...
