Unlike Taiwan, Thailand, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong....I bet most of the people reading this right now cannot accurately map out in the mind where Pakistan is located, or name all its neighboring countries, or its capital city correctly.
I am just apprehensive. Conveniently ignore this and this may just be another place for holiday, you hope. Well, not when there was a fresh bomb in North West of Pakistan last month.

I asked (with testing water mode) my boss why there is no direct flight from Singapore to Pakistan, when I knew exactly why - too many reluctant traveler like me in Singapore for the same concern. And the concern is a factual reason.
He answered (with reaction mode) like a matter of fact: "Oh, too many bombing in Pakistan so SIA cancelled the direct flight. Never mind, you can take a connecting flight via Bangkok or Dubai."

The only good thing I tell myself is I am going to Karachi (yes this is NOT the answer - Islamabad is the capital city) which is at the south.
And I tell myself Pakistan is producing things like this.
