This is incredible...a post on Pakistan . I was born Christian in Pakistan and lived there for 26 years before I moved to Toronto in 1996.

I've read with interest the feedback about Pakistan, and I would like to say that yes, when leaving the airport it would be best to go with hotel transfers or avoid any late night or early morning arrivals if you must travel by taxi. During the day it is quite safe. Regarding the food and water, it is best to bring your medication. I got seriously sick this time, and no matter what only drink distilled water and go easy on the spicy food if you are not used to it.

Pakistanis are very hospitable and nowadays very open towards foreigners. On my flight DXB-KHI which had a very light load, there were more foreigners on board than the locals. It is becoming a very modern city, open minded, taking on new challenges yet maintaining it's roots in religion and tradition.

I have put a link to some very traditional photos I had removed in Karachi on my last few trips. They were removed in the main shopping areas, local bazars and some random shots of other interests in the city. I will then put some additional links of the modern Karachi.
