OK, some pic analysis...
item - bamboo palms - could be anywhere but likely somewhere kinda tropical/sub-tropical.
item - white-washed tree trunk - could be anywhere ants are a problem, I have seen this in Israel, also in Australia
item - a bit of a vehicle in the background - actually looks like the cab of a ute! - so this could be Australia, since if it IS the cab of a ute, it is parked on the left side of the road, not that many places where people drive on the wrong side
item - Dahon Roo bikes - not available in the US (Dahon web site), ARE available in Australia
item - Building in background - hmmm not much there, just that it is not incompatible with what is around here
So my second guess is Australia, perhaps Brisbane or Darwin.
[edit] if not in China or Taiwan then I suppose Macau is left over...

the bonus question has been solved ...... the bikes are made in Chezh Republic
but the location where the photo was taken is not yet been guessed right .....
in many ways most answers are WAY off ..... than again its a pretty special place
great to get around with a pair of Dahons for sure....
keep on guessing

Looks like we first have to sort out the continent/ocean. I have had a go with Australia and Asia which seems far off the mark. North America also has not gotten warm responses. Perhaps South America is next? Brazil has been mentioned. Europe?
EG Czech republic?
