in fact, that he is offering to make a contribution towards my airfare

I missed that bit. I'd be willing to chip in a few quid too, as would many others here I suspect. We're all nice people too

Following careful consideration, I have decided against my planned trip to Karachi. This is largely down to issues of personal security and health.

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!

Yes, I imagine hanging out with the taliban in pakistan could be called 'authentic'

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.

The Quran doesn't apply to Hindus or Sikhs though.

Over the weekend.... as you do ..I somehow found myself on wiki looking at British Centurion & Chieftain tanks.. and their roles in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, what caught my eye was the success of the Centurion over the Pakistani Pattons/Shermans

Sex before marriage is forbidden so the men tend to have experimental anal sex with other men.

I am very fastidious about good hygiene and possibly slightly neurotic when it comes to eating out wherever I am in the world as I do not wish to expose myself to the risk of any stomach ailments. I will follow my normal routine of bottled water only and avoid salad and fruit that has been washed in water. I'll be fine.

When they do their number twos they don’t use toilet paper. They will use their hand and some cold water. If lucky; they could wash their hands before preparing your food. Much of the food had food colouring that are intended for dying clothes and are hazardous. Many western labelled food are in fact local low standard rip-off copies
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.

I went to India once. Never eat food from the local market. I spent the rest of my time crouched over a toilet pleading for death while my body was tearing me a new a...hole in order to get it out quick enough.

You probably ignored the advice offered by the distinguished members of CUK!
