First commenter to guess where* this tree is located (one guess per person, no anonymous entries) will win a very small bottle of Irish whiskey! Or possibly something non-alcoholic that won’t get me in trouble. Oh, oh! Better idea. You’ll win a large Christmas star similar to those seen in the tree!

*Country is sufficient.
Now with extra photos, after the jump.

- Restaurant across from tree.

- ‘Sup.


- And what if your family isn’t up for Christmas Eve dinner at Swagath? Well, if you feel like something quick and easy, right across the way there’s Uncle Tom’s Steamed Hot Dogs!

Could be worse.
They just sentenced a Chinese woman to a year in re-education camp for retweeting a joke about Japan.
Isn’t that a eucalyptus tree? I’ll vote for Vancouver, Canada.
@23: YOU ARE CLEARLY WRONG.
I thought India too (but Calcutta).
Is it really Delhi?

Indeed! Kindly direct to pointless update underway.
Score! Here’s hoping it’s the whiskey (and to let ya’ll in on my super secret method, I Just picked the country with the highest population that had yet to be picked).
So your hint was that there’s an Indian restaurant?
Well, I’m seeing this four hours late but I was sure that it was not India, since that would be way too obvious. Especially since, if you Google “Swagath” you find out that it is an Indian chain.
I thought you were tricking us!
I was thinking that the streets and cars look way too clean for it to be India (from everything I’ve read and from stories of everyone I know who has been, India by and large is very dirty). Of course, there are clean and dirty parts of every city, let alone every country.
The pictures just looked more European to me.
So I would have guessed Poland or Hungary.
And I would have been wrong.
@30: I feel robbed. Just send me a star anyway, I’m pleasant.
In fact, that’s my bio: “He’s pleasant.”
