Re: new guy`s coming
Bitiray, I know many Japanese, Malaysian, African and Middle East students who lived in Pakistan and enjoyed it. Even I met couple of them in Malaysia and they were still remembering their stay and how they enjoyed it, specially the local people who are very friendly.
I am sure you will not only find it like home but also get a lot of help and assistance once you are there. The local people do not care about how you look like, but its how you get along with them. Specially people from Lahore are very friendly.
I would say contact some old students of these institutes and get more about it. Personally I can not say anything which I do not know. Unlike the people who are giving you the reply they might have not even seen lahore in their life.
