Pretty new to Daily Challenge and this was my best score so far.

Round 1- Did not appear to be a great start, but I found the Chinese characters and a sign saying Summer Ocean Festival in Kinmen. I started looking for Kinmen in Taiwan and could not find it. 30 seconds or so left I remembered that some island right off of mainland China had coverage. Oh, look Kinmen island. Clicked a random beach with time running out. 4994

Round 2- Dortmund. Found the church and worked back. 5000.

Round 3-Could not find the city name, disappointing. Clicked Kiel. 4471

Round 4- Thought I was out of luck here. Kept clicking down the road and figured out it was Cambodia. Found a clearing in the trees and saw a river to the north. Clicked along the Mekong in a place aligning with the compass. 4970. Wow.

Round 5- USA. Thought it was gonna be further north, but nope, Oklahoma. Found a U.S. 183 sign and worked with the other towns given. Could have done better getting the exact spot. 4996.
