So I live in #Islamabad ..which you should know is the capital city of a somewhat notorious country Pakistan. Its a very green and a very very beautiful city and used to be much more beautiful but now kind of looks like a big military headquarter because of all the checkposts and blockages that is the result of the security situation which pretty much dictates everything that happens in a country ravaged by a smoldering war for about 6 years . But what is good is that people are as happy as they were ever .... Islamabad has been called the city that always sleeps because there is mostly a calm and peaceful environment .mostly young peple hangout at cafes , no obvious bars or clubs (some nonobvious underground ones) ofcourse. with a mountanious backdrop its a place i love to call home ..there is a lake the Rawal lake some hotels ....just a single proper mall thats just opened last year (WTF!) with which the first cinema in the city (again WTF!) . Islamabad is somewhat a bubble seperated from the third world country sort of look the rest of the country has .And also the only city where you can see foreigners or goras! as they are called here of which are in the country because of embassy jobs which sucks because islamabad and pakistan are awesome . islamabad is also the only pakistani city which has immediate border with woods and hills called the margalla hills with a net of hiking trails ......you try fitting in two thirds the population of united states in an area smaller than california and woods ....what woods ! . The people here in islambad are also much more tolerant and colourful than people elsewhere in the country ...
so yeah thats my lovely town and @peace to y'all :D
