Was it really too much of a strain to actually type the whole name of the city, and the districts, so that those of us not familiar with every city in the world could have had a clue?

BKK? CBD? AC? TMA-2KTO.

BKK = Beer Kept Kold. Or BangKoK

CBD = Cajun Beer Draught. Or Central Business District

AC = Air Con. Or DC

TMA-2KTO: Too Much Alcohol 2: Kept Too Cold

OP : One Punch, a great Manga

To be fair, although perhaps a bit impenetrable to outsiders, pretty much everyone I know uses airport codes almost exclusively to refer to cities in texts... or made-up TLAs like JKT for Jakarta when the airport code (CGK) is non-obvious.

It's just a habit and I'm sure the GP didn't intend to be obtuse.
