On Oct. 18th, the transportation convoy of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was attacked by two suicide bombers in Karachi, killing nearly 140 people and marking the assault as the bloodiest of its kind in the history of the country.  In the aftermath of the bombings, the world's second most populated city (over 12 million and counting) has found itself centered in the global media spotlight due to the return of the popular Bhutto.  Ms. Bhutto has returned to Pakistan after years of self-imposed exile due to corruption allegations during two different terms and administrations in the late '80s and early 90s to discuss a possible power-sharing agreement with Pakistan's current leader, Gen.

Earlier this week, Cheney raised eyebrows when he declared that the vice presidency is NOT part of the executive branch. Heavy rains and powerful winds ripped through Karachi, Pakistan, killing 200. Afghanistan’s President Karzai has accused Nato and US-led troops of failing to work together with Afghan troops, “thereby causing civilian deaths.” Up to 90 Afghan civilians died this week as a result of military activity.

Finally I have the time to write this.I went to Karachi last week on business. It was my first trip to Pakistan, and it happened during our Chinese New Year. I was a bit reluctant to go, hearing too many security warnings, but I am glad I went.These are the few things worth sharing:SecurityIt is much better than what people told me. It really just looks like another Makati City in Manila. No doubt, armed officers (or guards??) can be seen everywhere, but it is to the similar level in Manila. Like Manila, we have to be scanned before entering any buildings. The only extra security measures I noticed, in comparison with Manila and Jakarta is, they also open and examine the bonnet when vehicles enter the premise.In a country with frequent bomb scares, this kind of safety measure is appreciated, to help protecting our lives. But I have one question, not specific to Pakistan though: how do they know my luggage in the boot doesn't contain a bomb? They didn't scan my luggage in the boot.Oh,

I copied this as it is from my other blog. The reason is, I want more people to read this, as it is something really worth sharing... I will write my conclusion in another post.------Imagine this:You made hotel reservation a month in advance. Midnight, upon arrival at a security heightened country, you found out that you have to share room with a complete stranger, and you have no other options but to accept it. Not only that, you have to sleep in the living hall on a made-shift bed, and yet expected to pay around RM700 ($200) for that.This happened to me, in Marriott Hotel, Karachi. This is the most ridiculous thing that I’ve ever encountered in my travel life.I arrived Marriott Karachi at 2:30am KL time. I was exhausted, desperately needed a shower and a good sleep. But upon arrival, I was told that the hotel was overbooked, and they have simply put me and another lady stranger in the same room, without seeking our agreement. Though this lady comes from the same country and same co
