Waisay, I have heard that the new park and the upgrade to Quaid ka mazaar is really impressive? Koi photo shoto na ho jayay??? :)

I haven't been to Pakistan since 1980. I have to make a visit there soon. When I do, I will definitely visit Karachi as well.

:rotfl: :smiley:

Faisal bhai, yup the upgrade is cool :k:
Once I am in Karachi remind me about the pics, I’ll try to post some inshallah :smiley:

Fret Wizard, wow that’s even before I was born :eek: You should visit, you’ll love Pakistan and the visit will enrich your life forever :slight_smile:

  • Defence Mosque
  • Wazir Mension (birth place of Quaid-e-Azam)
  • National Museum
  • Aalldin Water Park
  • Makli ka Qabrustan

Add in places to eat

  • Suhrab Goath ki Karhiee
  • Gulshan ki "Quetta Sajji"

janab thank you :k:

All other places you mentioned are also good :slight_smile:

About Makli ka Qabristan, if you are going all the way there, might as well drive a bit ahead and have rabri in Thatta and get a view of keynjar and haleji lakes…

tariq road… 5 mins walk from our flat :blush: :stuck_out_tongue:

^

:hehe: cool :stuck_out_tongue:

Hansi to kher aap ko aa he gai hai mere side-splitting humor par :halo: pait pakar kar hansne wala icon :hehe:] agar na maanna hai to na mano bhai :snooty:

Haan bhai…yeh bhi dekhna (main ne waise abhi dekha nahin..suna hai..achi shughal jaga lagti hai…imagine wearing color coded jackets with guns in hand and you actually play up to what you do in first-person shooting arcade games. :smiley:

Yeh bhi..aur abhi abhi meri aik dost ne khabar di hai ke do-talwar par Laser Tag khula hai…Allah jaane kia bala hai :rolleyes: par according to her..its another shugal mela place. Wallah-o-alam :halo:

Shoaib: Lagta hai Ghazi Saab ke mazaar ki biryani ka zaiqa aap bhi nahin bhoole hain abhi :rotfl:

^^

khanu bhai i'm not into all that video game and arcade type stuff...bachon ke khaas tor pe LARKON ke games lag rhay haen :p
I'd rather go and hang out in GULF :D or even boat basin :D or pay a trip to ASG mazar :D but not for the reason u go there ofcourse :D:p

Never been to Karachi-would love to go. Does any one know the url for a site which is a tour guide to Karachi, plus with pictures.

Irem Yar baat he aisi hai kay hasi aa gaye :hehe:

yar Khannu bhai.. main job Pakistan main thaa to bohat chota thaa or hamaray ghar main say koi mazaar nahin jata.. or Ammi kehteen hain kay Mazzar par sirf wo log khana khatay hain jin kay pass nahin hota :frowning:
Lakin main nay to suna hai kay wahan to log chutti walay din.. especially biryani khanay jatay hain.. :rotfl:

haan na shaibi, khanu bhai jaisay log maslan :smiley:

^jee nain! pani ki billi ki shakal bana kar dikhata hai :hehe:] hum to wahan photo khinchwane jaate hain. Allah na karey ke main ya mere dushman ke chunne chunne bache bhi jaein :eek: dhak se reh jaata hai achi achi baatein kia karo bhai…humain tang na karo :snooty:

Shoaib Mian: aur kia yar…loug to family picnic ke liay jaate hain… :smooth: aur jab hum college main thay to tuition se wapsi par he… pocket money se video game aur free ka lunch… :wink:

PS: Note to improve GK: Lasertag is the name of the game itself..and it’s within the Cafe called 3.0 Aiwain..thus! khoda pahaar nikla chouua! :mad:

PS1: A lot of poeple would actually prefer to hang out in Gulf or Forum…prolly GK mian izafay ke liay :halo: Wallah-o-alam
