Does anyone know which city this is? 42% of this city is covered by water, it dates back more than 2,500 years and is still famous for its intricate embroidery. It also has lakes, canals, streams & world-famous classical gardens. I'm completely stuuucck!
That did spring to mind immediately, but judging from the pictures given, it looks Oriental, rather than European. I had initially thought it was either Lucknow or Myanmar or Yangon city. I would tend to do for China/Japan rather than India/Pakistan.
Ah! As Idon't take the Observer I don't have the pictures. The only other city that I could think of was Venice (But european again). Sorry not much help. :-((
