what do you think about pakistan

[Narolines]

I think it's a country to the north-west of India..........

It has some beautiful scenery, which, if the Pakistanis could only see, they could harness a fabulous income by way of tourism, but all the fighting and religious disputes put people off. People in this day and age should be able to live alongside each other in harmony. Fanatical ideas belong in the distant past - but the country itself is the same as any other (perhaps better in many respects). I've been to Karachi, and it's fabulous in parts, but devastatingly poor in others. What exactly was your post meant to ask, m_pzr?

A country with some very attractive features in its landscape and climate. Populated by people many (most ?) of whom are very nice (like pretty well everywhere else) but who face enormous socio-political problems - of which the nation itself is the chief architect and custodian (but very possibly for the most part blames outsiders).

Hi all, thanks for your views. the reason I asked the question was that myself (British Pakistani male) and my friend (British white male) went to Pakistan around charismas and we had allot mixed reaction about this because of what�s been going on. Some people were saying to my friend that this is a bad idea and he should never go to Pakistan but he wanted to see for himself what Pakistan is really like. We spent time with my family, attended a wedding, got invited to a house in a small village, played golf on x-mas day in the Himalayas; we visited Lahore, Rawal pindi and the Faisal mosque in Islamabad. The only bad thing that happened was that Benazir Butto was Assassinated wile we were there. So now he says to those people to go and see for your self and then talk because �Pakistan was the best memory of my life the hospitality is second to none and if they sort a few of the political issues and had more sanitary facilities in towns this would be one of the best countries�.

I have never been myself but I saw a woman being interviewed on T.V recently and her parents were from Pakistan before they emigrated to England.

Anyway she went to Pakistan on holiday and before she went her mother warned her to make sure she never showed her bare arms in public. Well she said she had a big surprise it was nothing like her parents had told her about Pakistan it was completely modern and bare arms were in fashion, in fact she could not find an outfit in the shops with sleeves.

The problem with the older Asian people is that they are clinging on to old traditions whereas the country they came from has modernised.
