I can confirm that it’s not Mumbai or Delhi.

wait no it's definitely antarctica, getting a strong fort mcmurdo vibe

The anomalous oak tree is a good spot.
The only clues I will give are that people play cricket there and nobody is super close yet.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:13 (five years ago)
My initial thought was also Delhi but I see thats already been thrown out of court.
― cherry blossom, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:17 (five years ago)
Dhaka?

If I say nobody has the country right yet, that will probably make it a lot easier.

Not Sri Lanka.

found it! Sharjah, UAE - Rolla Square, to be precise
― Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:54 (five years ago)
Correct!

a search for black and yellow curbs in Asia got me this pic: http://geotips.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/srwpd3s.jpgwas expecting Bangladesh or Pakistan, but it turned out to be a UAE construction firm. then checked UAE for cricket-ness, not expecting anything, but yes! tried Abu Dhabi parks first, but then switched to Sharjah, which was also mentioned as a cricket-friendly city, and found a pic of a park that seemed to match.Al Rolla Square, as it happens, is actually named after its banyan trees!

ah thanx, right on the money!

― Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:16 (five years ago)
I thought those black and yellow curbs might do the trick!
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:32 (five years ago)
yep, I went with your suggestion, seemed like the only way in
― Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:38 (five years ago)
I only just noticed it actually says Sharjah on that pic as well!

I looked up street views of Dhaka & Colombo and there would be thousands of scooters and Vespa Apes parked on the sidewalk if it was one of those towns, and the sky would be smoggy, and abject poverty
― Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:45 (five years ago)
time for some red & white curbs

or are they black & white? (honestly can't tell the difference, sorry)
― Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:55 (five years ago)
that looks like spain?
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 23:26 (five years ago)
Maybe somewhere in the Caribbean?
― o. nate, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 23:31 (five years ago)
Is that car driving on the left though?
― Zelda Zonk, Wednesday, 10 February 2021 00:09 (five years ago)
Somewhere warm, somewhere (it seems to me) left hand driving, so former British colony?
― Zelda Zonk, Wednesday, 10 February 2021 00:17 (five years ago)
These are very good questions, ZZ, and there is an interesting answer which would be too much of a clue at this stage.
― Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 10 February 2021 00:35 (five years ago)
Convinced myself that it's India but there's really not a lot to go on. Feel like identifying the spongebob-like cartoon on the mural is key
― or something, Wednesday, 10 February 2021 00:35 (five years ago)
Driving on the left + scrubbiness of vegetation consistent with Anglophone Caribbean.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 10 February 2021 00:40 (five years ago)
From the comment that there's an interesting answer to my questions that would give too much away, I surmise that this isn't exactly a former British colony, but perhaps once occupied by the British or maybe is still a British overseas territory. For a moment I got excited about Israel, as they seem to have red and white curbs, but sadly they drive on the right. However, Cyprus drives on the left, could it be Nicosia?
― Zelda Zonk, Wednesday, 10 February 2021 01:50 (five years ago)
The far right tbh
― scampsite (darraghmac), Wednesday, 10 February 2021 02:08 (five years ago)
Feel like we can be a little quick with the clues. Clues were popping out for Sharjah before I'd even seen the pic! (not that I was anywhere close to getting it)
― cherry blossom, Wednesday, 10 February 2021 03:56 (five years ago)
Clues from the poster of the pic I mean, not from guessers!
― cherry blossom, Wednesday, 10 February 2021 03:57 (five years ago)
I'm leaning somewhere in Cyprus for now, but the road signs don't quite feel right for there
― cherry blossom, Wednesday, 10 February 2021 04:54 (five years ago)
Googling black and white curbs, I come up with Singapore and Malaysia. Could this be Malaysia? Drives on the left and has "interesting" (to say the least) former relations with Britain. Not quite tidy enough looking to be Singapore, I feel
― Zelda Zonk, Wednesday, 10 February 2021 05:31 (five years ago)
Is it like a big roundabout thing? Whats in the middle? like a raised angled plaque.
I'm stuck on this being Limassol but can't quite make it work
― cherry blossom, Wednesday, 10 February 2021 13:30 (five years ago)
Not Limassol or Nicosia.
― Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 10 February 2021 13:38 (five years ago)
Or any other city in Cyprus
― Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 10 February 2021 13:39 (five years ago)
I'll do a reverse view in a few hours.
― Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 10 February 2021 13:48 (five years ago)
It definitely feels Caribbean to me but doesn’t remind me of anywhere I know. If the cars are on the left, perhaps Charlotte Amalie in the USVI. If they’re on the right, Belize City?
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Wednesday, 10 February 2021 13:49 (five years ago)
Georgetown, Guyana?
― nickn, Wednesday, 10 February 2021 17:44 (five years ago)
I was going to do a reverse view but can't find the exact spot, so here is just another view of the city, think this should be a bit more helpful.
