Truthfully, the last time I was in Portland was 1969. I was very young at the time.

Sanarok is right!

it is Bangkok (BKK)

the building is the Holiday Inn Silom BKK, which is just west of Jewelry Trade Center(my pic!) at Silom Road.
The reflected building is the Royal Charoen Krung (RCK) Tower or State Tower (another pic by me )

the picture u had to guess was also taken by me.

Germany is not really big compared to Russia, USA, Canada, Brasil or China
even France is bigger...

it's too early for telling u the right federal state...
but 2 hints: not Schleswig Holstein or Niedersachsen.

i want you to name a city or 3

c'mon guys!
it's not that hard to guess; u guessed the right country faster that i expected...
and i already gave hints, so u can already exclude some cities.
Btw, even Niedersachsen, which is excluded, got hills.
