    Zigzag, a small tip for Hong Kong is that if you see tall skyscrapers, central business district, urban area, and busy traffic. It’s 99% of the time the southern island

      Well, there are the regular 30-40 story concrete residential buildings which are all over HK, and then there are the actually tall metal-and-glass office skyscrapers located mostly in/around Central (northern part of HK Island or "southern island" as you describe it) and in west or south Kowloon; basically, around the harbor.

    I wish you would say, like, "This is South Africa, I can tell because of X and X" etc. A lot of countries I am fairly good with, especially given time, but the SPEED with which you identify the country is astouding.

    Love this challenge format. I've actually lived in East Timor/Timor-Leste (the independent country), and a West Timor guess was pretty reasonable there. Those basic stick fences and dry environments are a real feature of that part of eastern Indonesia.

    23:40 As other pointed out, those are like forest workers' signals for each other whoich trees to cut down or sth. They're either stickers or more commonly, spray paint in different colours (ie white and orange-reddish in Germany). Also in some countrires you have like metal plates on the trees with small numbers on them which is the counting system for city governments, you know, to identify trees quickly within their city. This isn't a forest thing tho, more common in parks and along roads :)
