The question is in the headline. The answer may be in google, but can anyone guess without the help of google? And if you can, do tell us ‘why’ you know where this is?:-)
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

I hope they have pointed the arrow in the right direction…in case someone is planning to come to Pakistan form there.
Bopolu is definitely in Liberia.
I think Shahran is spot on. But then, I didn’t google it… I think I’ll go google it now…
I think it looks like it is in Liberia where the Pakistani soldiers were on a peackeeping mission. So they must have some sort of camp where they had put up this thing.
Obviously, the place is near Bopolu (54 Km). But where is Bopolu? The sign says it is a place 9,100 NM from Pakistan. If NM stands for nautical mile then it makes it roughly 10,500 miles. Very few inhabited places would be that far away from Pakistan (the circumference of earth both at the equator and the poles being 24,900 miles). So, NM is clearly a red herring. That leaves us with two clues. The landscape and the tree trunk.
The landscape is not European, not US, not middle Eastern. Could be Australian or African. The tree trunk looks more like some African tree, that is, if you know the trees. The name Bopolu also sounds more like an African name. Therefore it is an African country. Now you can google for Bopolu. Elementary, my dear Watson! Isn’t it?
Mauritius?
