title: How to check the region where your GoogleColab is running?
body: <p>Following this <a href="https://twitter.com/GoogleColab/status/1120777276503683072" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tweet</a> I tried without luck to use this GPU on Google Colab. I'm wondering if this is due to the region where my notebook is running but I don't have idea how to check this.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Am I missing something setting up the GPU? I followed this <a href="https://medium.com/deep-learning-turkey/google-colab-free-gpu-tutorial-e113627b9f5d" rel="nofollow noreferrer">post</a> [ Solved! <em>See UPDATE 2</em>]</li>
  <li><strong>How can I check in which region I'm from colab?</strong></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
  
  <p>The output of <code>!nvidia-smi</code> is</p>

  <p>Tesla T4 is now available but I'm still interested in how to check in which region my instances are running.</p>
