Too many cars for North Korea (and too much variety of cars), the signage doesn’t appear to be arabic script, so Tehran is like likely out. The lettering on buildings doesn’t appear to be Chinese either. Mongoilia and a lot of the former Soviet -stans use Cyrillic so it could be one of them. Also the buildings have that Soviet look about them.
Yes.
Can’t be Japan as Japan is right hand drive. The decorative motif on the building in the foreground looks oriental, as does the arch on the traffic divider.
I hate it when I drink too much the night before and wake up the next day wondering where I am, too.
Ask the CIA.
Hey CIA, what city is this?
OH come on, we know your monitoring this site.
“Looks kinds like all the other cities I have no interest in being in.”
Took the words right out of my keyboard

Pyongyang, North Korea?
The building in the middle of the picture that looks you shaped seems to be some kind of town hall or city hall with a large phrase across the top. That does seem to lend to more of a totalitarian type of State
Fake Chinese City.
I'm intrigued by the building on the center left. It is walled off as if it is an embassy building or something.
If I had to take a guess, I’d say that’s Kabul in Afghanistan.
Deciduous and cool climate conifers for landscaping plants around some of the buildings but clearly arid, so high desert. Ornamentation on that large white building looks familiar but I can’t place it. Architecture on the small apartment building in the foreground is vaguely Asian and has a penthouse but doesn’t look new. Feeling like maybe Mongolia.
A city in central southern Russia east of the Ural Mountains or a city in Kazakhstan would be my guess.
the center left building has a wall around it with a security entrance gate and a sat-dish, looks maybe like an embassy compound or something
Too many cars on the streets for NK, although the buildings have an Asian architcture feel in the motifs. There is a privacy wall on the building's patios on the medium height apartment building which tends to make me think it's a Muslim majority city, but the lack of minarets denies that. Look to China for the government minamalistic styles. Right hand drive traffic.
Hamhung, North Korea
I thought of Pyongyang too, but that is the one city that has all the newest buildings, even though they are all empty!!
Wherever it is, they drive on the right side of the road. Can’t tell the make of the vehicles, tho.
No mosques or Islamic artifacts.
