As a corollary to this, I now have the opportunity of what I think may be a much more fulifilling visit to the country. I was discussing my original visit with a colleague of mine named Khalid whose family hails from Pokisatn.
Khalid has suggested that I accompany him next year back to his homeland in the north-west border region of the country where I will be assured of a much more authentic experience than that I would have had in Karachi. He is so keen , in fact, that he is offering to make a contribution towards my airfare. What nice people I work with!

I was asked by a supplier on a trip in Nepal to travel with across land to Kashmir.
He was a little put out when I said no as it was dangerous. You will be safe with me said, do you not trust me?!?
I said 'yes' but pointed at my face and asked him what colour I was! 'White!' came the reply. 'Exactly! I'm the wrong colour!!!'
'Good point ' he said. 'Catch a plane I'll meet you there.'

And with bottled water, make sure the restaurant doesn't do the old trick of pouring tap water into a mineral water bottle and placing it on the table. Insist that they bring the bottle to the table unopened to be sure.

Keep away from meat, fish and vegetables. In fact take your own food and water. Sex before marriage is forbidden so the men tend to have experimental anal sex with other men.
