1) Gizeh Pyramid. Keops maybe, 1977 (9,942). 2) ‘OK Supertrans’ in the taxi cab. ‘Modul Sbiam’ in the shop... The car plate looks like EU. I think I am seeing the Bulgarian flag on the license plate. I do not remember when they joined the EU, but also, that mobile phone advertisement is from the mid 00’s. Sofia centre area, 2005 (9,996). 3) I am a big Beatles fan, but I have never seen such a thing. I would say Central Park area, NYC, 1965 (5,624). 4) ‘Birnenska Street’ with ‘Kra…something Street’ and the Ukrainian coat of arms on the street sign. Is this a young Zelenski during his acting days? Yes, certainly is. Besides, I know that city personally, it is Lviv (Leopolis), almost bordering Poland. The old city is very similar to Krakow (Kiev style is absolutely different). Got it. Virmenska St. with Kraviska St. in the very centre, 2014 (9,300). 5) Let's find that arch on Carnaby St. That is where I bought my first Dr. Martens boots, summer of 1992. There is no way to see that arch on the map, but I guess it is at the beginning of the street. The atmosphere is just like the one I experienced in ’92. Maybe a couple of years earlier, 1990 (9,950). FINAL SCORE: 44,812 Remarks: - I am seeing now that Bulgarian number plates 2) from 1992 until its entry into the EU (2007) were the same as now, but with the Bulgarian flag instead of the EU one. - Too bad San Francisco round in 3). I was directly blinded by NYC. Also, 1964 makes all the sense due to the US Presidential Elections. - About Beatles one, I am reading now that “Ringo for President" is a 1964 novelty song by the Young World Singers. Released during the 1964 Presidential Elections, it advocates Ringo Starr as the ideal presidential candidate "because he doesn't talk about war". Some Beatles fans started touting Starr as a write-in candidate”. - 5,000 Ukraine location! in 4).

Well done on the 5k. I had no idea about Lviv being similar in architecture to Krakow. I got very lucky going west coast on the Ringo round.
