Re: Is it a disease to be Pakistani?
I am presently living in Turkey, and I have found people here very respectful towards Pakis. Infact my dad travelled throughout the world and didn't find a place where Pakis are respected more than here. The one after Turkey is China.
I can vouch for that, i was in shanghai last year and was with my american colleagues, but even as my local chinese colleagues found out that I was originally Pakistani they bent over backwards to show me their city, got me tons of gifts, and invitd me to their homes etc.
The other country where I felt this was Morocco, where they saw my and my wfe's passports UK and US respectively and asked where are you originally from, and we said Pakistan. The guys is like oh Pakistaaan...welcome welcome...same for the customs people, they asked us to put our bags for check up and the guy told them we are Pakistani and they said welcome welcome...and asked us to go ahead and take our bags no checing required.
quite different than the experience I have had in middle east, to a point when these jokers asked me "british, ...pakistani".. I just stare them down and say...NO, just British actually, then they retreat.
