I'm thinking it's in the Mediterranean somewhere. Greece or Crete perhaps?

Am I correct that it is in the Mediterranean region? If not, is it in America?

Heh, ok, maybe I looked too hard for a tough one. It is not in the Mediterranean area nor the North American, South American or European continents. Hopefully that'll narrow it down some.

You were more specific so dont worry about that. I have the same problem from time to time. Funny that we both came back with similar answers.

Well, your a lot closer than you think actually. It is indeed the German Embassy but, not in Japan. You are in the right part of the world though.
