Thank you I am glad you liked them!

 

Though, I must add that Pakistan isn't part of the Middle East but actually part of South Asia.

Everyone is always suprised when I post those pictures that I posted above because they don't usually think we have such a youth scene. Pakistan's youth make up more than 50% of its population. So this is the youth of the country and they will change the direction of the nation...BTW to give you a clue in to where they are headed...MTV just opened up in Pakistan about 8 years ago and this is the result.

Since, Pakistan is the frontline on the war on terrorism and since so many lives have been lost on our side I want to give tribute to our boys there.

 

I am going to cover this briefly though...

Anyways, back to the good stuff...Let me show you this new port city we are building. It is supposed to be the new Dubai of the region and even surpass it if things go as planned.

 

Waiting for the Boom

Touted as a major port for Pakistan, Gwadar is a small fishing village with grand hopes
