OK with me. Teddy, I hope it still runs when I get back

(and Teddy was closer with the size of Fortuna I think / thought)

P.S.
Checked the size of the Fortunas, had to know
Fortuna built in 1978 by Palmer Johnson: 100' - 30.5 m (gas turbine). For sale in 1996.
Fortuna built in 2000 by IZAR: 136' - 41.5 m (3 gas turbines). For sale in 2018

I still think we should lobby Ad Hoc for a few Japanese themes.

John...... ?

If it is where I assume it is, then we should see two very well known buildings (or at least one, both will not fit in one picture), but I do´nt see one.

Anyway I´m not allowed to name the solution.

What has this Uni to do with Ohh Nooo


edit:
that was too easy for others.........I deleted the picture.

Is the Sanyō-Shinkansen near?

And my first assumption was wrong! I thought one should see A. Kaikyo - B. or the airport....

Not the uni..there isn't one near by!

The ooohh nooo..is a clue to its location.

Remember, this is Japan, place names in Japan/Japanese are very unfamiliar to us 'westerners'...and the name of a town/island/city etc....using their pronunciations, can be played with, in English pronounciation...assuming one knows the location!!
