Hey,

Here's what I can make out, doing some Googling and using this site to help me
with flags:
http://www.photius.com/flags/alphabetic_list.html

Upper left - Hmm.  This looks like a few of the flags, but only Pitcairn and

Upper middle - This is the Merlion statue in Singapore Harbor:

Middle left - Sky Tower in Auckland, Australia:

Middle middle - I can't make out these pictures or flags at all.

Middle right - Japanese flag, the text is ___ Temple.  Could it be Daitoku-ji

Bottom center, bottom right - Great Wall of China
