Re: Moving to Karachi - need some advice please!

if you are white skinned....be extra careful...I know some white people
feel extremely nervous in karachi because of the stares they get

If you are brown skinned (meaning sub-continental fair/brown) then you
can get by comfortably as long as you are not too flashy about your
lifestyle.

I can put you in touch with some karachi based corporate execs who are
single men and love partying.

Hi,

Moving to Karachi next week for employment from the UK for a couple of
years. I am *really* looking forward to this assignment, but I do need
some advice please..!

Home: Like the new apartments in Askari 4 - seems a secure and clean
location in a compound. Anybody got recommendations elsewhere in
Karachi for similar apartments for comparison?

Mobile: Which mobile company especially for call quality and cheap
overseas calls? Mobilink seems the main choice.

Car: Looking to buy a nearly new car and the Civic seems to fit my
(tall) frame. What's the advice on buying a car - any pitfalls to watch
out for? I've been advised to fit a tracker system. I'd like a
four-wheel drive car but they seem very expensive and again I've been
advised the car may attract too much attention. Should I go to the main
dealer to get the car serviced or are their independant garages which
are good?

Thanks in advance.

Al.
