I am playing, Sigurd! Those two central Asian cities had me stumped. They have so many cultural influences that I just didn't know where to even begin looking. (note to self: a potpourri of influences = central Asia). They look Asian, AND European, AND euro-colonial....
By the time I was beginning to get a clue they were guessed already.

The current city is easy, people have guessed it already I see. It almost looks southern French, but not quite. So French colonial probably: North Africa, Beirut. The movie reference made me check Casablanca.
