Thread: So, I was playing with Google Earth...

    So, I was playing with Google Earth...

    When I stumbled upon something written on the ground in Okinawa.



    I want to know what it says

    I have already gotten the katakana "purojukuto" - project, Anyone here read Kanji? It's probably something stupid, but I'm curious.

    You do realize the google maps are years old in some places?

    Cabewse: maybe you found a new one of those google earth mysteries they always promote.

    a coworker claims you can trigger the satellite to renew the image of your location online somehow, and him and some friends set up lawn chairs on their roof, triggered it, and then laid down on the roof.

    supposedly his image is on google earth now, and I think he was showing it to other people here too, but I didn't catch it.

    Well, the pictures they have from Montreal are at least 3 years old since I cant see a new building that was made by a University.

    In the picture, you see a parking lot. But you are NOT suppose to.

    What on earth? First you tell you sometimes stand unmoving outside to make an impact, and now you confess you even burned down a nearby shop to leave your mark on the service? Damn, some people go to the extremes...

    For those who were expecting some kind of complot or weird experiment, I'll be dissapointing you.

    This is probably the sign for some future housing complex.... the first two kanji, 豊 and 崎 are the name of the place, and since I'm bad at reading names my best guess is that the place is called "Housaki", therefore "Housaki Project", while 分譲中, "Bunjou-chuu" means that the land is in the proccess of being subdivided.

    So I dunno, it might just be an announcement of land-plots sale or something.
