I feel like the Korean in the image is a dead giveaway but I also don't trust Redditors to be able to tell the differences between languages. Also, text aside, Wonsan does a half-decent impression of a smaller Japanese city in the 80s. If you said this was Nagasaki in 1982 I might believe you. Also, both cities were bombed to smithereens by the U.S. ๐
Then say South Korea in the 1980s, if you're going to repost it as bait....?![emoji agni-pain agni-pain](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/651ebc71-9e69-4edb-b159-c763f35787c1.png)
Nah there are too many weebs, if more than like 4 people see the post one of em's gonna notice it's not japanese lol
In my experience, Weebs can't even tell.
I'm not great at telling apart Asian languages, but one clue about Korean for me are all the circles.
korean, chinese, and japanese are all pretty distinct for reasons just like that, the only tricky part is that japanese uses chinese characters so you've gotta know how to spot the ones that are only in japanese and not get tripped up by the chinese ones lol
Too EZ, Chinese is full on organized Hanzi, Japanese has those abstract squiggles that surround Kanji...
Red sign literally says Kim Jong Il lol
Dead giveaway indeed, if you can read
It looks like some of the rural areas in the Czech Republic I've been to - Poland probably too, but mountain areas are usually low population density there and I don't really remember the times I was in Maลopolska well: was too young.
Which, well, makes sense.
Yeah, minus the two tall buildings in the back it does look like about every town in Poland in 80's.
Or really, not only in 80's but even now, you just need to add colourful house insulations, usual advertisements and absolute fuckton of cars parked in every concievable space.
Don't forget neo-nazi graffiti of the local football ultras and newly built random luxury apartments sticking out like a sore thumb next to buildings that look like they have last been subject to maintenence in 1985.
You should go visit Radom sometime, that's one hell of a city.
