I'll call that a match just because I don't know Korean. I have it identified as Gyeongbokgung Palace which may be the same as what you quote above for all I know.

Right, Gyeonghoeru is an elevated banquet hall in the Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, South Korea.

I was thinking Miami (GP and Black Bay Chrono "Carbon 25" launch), but having checked and found that in your 39392 previous posts you have never uttered the word Miami, I think it's highly doubtful

Process for guess: downloaded, cropped the photo, and then used Google lens.

Where in the world is Besupa?

I checked pics with ChatGPT individually first to make sure there was a little challenge. (Unfortunately that makes the pics a little more dull.)

All pics were taken fairly close to each other, like a few hundred meters?

{Via Google Lens}

Kinosaki Ashiyu Cafe 86 Kinosakicho Yushima, Toyooka, Hyogo 669-6101, Japan (above the Kinosaki Onsen Koyado Tsumugi).

Apparently there's no showers there with it being in a Japanese Onsen town.

Another bucket list place maybe?

Thanks for posting 🙏

Alas, I did not check Lens. I was kinda worried about that cafe pic getting generally scraped from Insta.

Right you are though =) The pics are from around Kinosaki Onsen.

Edit: I can vouche that there are indeed showers.

Vague image searches and stick-poking around vineyards suggest the area around Malmo, Sweden?

I agree, because I was there on Vacation with my Wife about 10 years ago on Malta and we visited Valetta and I rember a litte Terasse Park that looked just like where they`re sitting in that Picture.

I assumed you did not bring those Maxibons from home but bought them locally. On the packing there is only English. Therefore I assumed it must be an English speaking country / city.
The background looked very mediterranian. That leaves only Gibraltar or Malta.
Then watched some pictures on Valletta and I recognized that little tower on the photo in between you 2.
Enough to make a guess.
