The buses indicate that is a country where traffic drives on the left, there are two people walking on the trail who are dressed like in a tropical country. Skyscrapers can be seen in a city skyline behind the trees. I'm guessing a Caribbean island like Jamaica, but Hong Kong is also possible. The voice on the PA at the end does not sound Asian. Anybody else have any thoughts?

Just a paper airplane thrown from the 18th floor... keep watching. [VIDEO]

Now back to the main thread.
That voice sounds Eastern European / Eastern Mediterranean to me.
Hard to pin down.

I am certain of the location, so...

It looks awfully Balkans or Russian. Probably a church or monastery.

Marienberg Fortress on the River Main.

And yes the answer was correct previously. I was not on the web for the last three days.

I can't blow it up big enough to read the marquee across the street or any signs on that bus.

Can anyone else?
