Pakistan recently gained independence from India, it is still a developing country but has come a long way. It is a Muslim country, and the government is supposed to be run on Shriah, or Islamic Law. It is next to India, and Bangladesh, thus its origins are not mysterious. It is filled with Mosque's at every corner, Big and small. The house are Nice and big in some area, while other area not as big. The market place is crowded with different stores selling different products, usually few but most likely only one product.
This may have to do with the Islamic law of monopolies being forbidden. It is actually a good country and contrary to what westerners believe. Most Pakistan's have pride in their country for being untouched by western life's sinful ways.
Being Pakistani and having immigrant parents, I am educated much about this country.
I last visited Pakistan five-six years ago and plan to visit next year during summer. It is a great place to go for vacation. Very Rich in culture and great food. The only thing that may be a problem, Heat and living conditions in certain area's. The weddings are great and are much fun.
I highly recommend it for a summer get away.
