Hi there - i am 28 white (not that that really matters) english but have lived all over the place. currently living in Hong Kong. I might move to Karachi for 18 months later this summer and wondered what advice people might give. Specifically, i am interested in the following:
- Are there many younger expats (less then 32ish) living in Karachi?
- Are the recent secutiy issues related to election and other issues really a problem? is this somehting i should be too worried about (kidnapping etc..)
- how am i going to meet people out there? is there a social scene at all in Karachi?/what clubs should i join (sports clubs etc..)
- Do most people rent houses or appartments? - where should i be looking? i will be looking for something up market and reasonably high end.
Thanks very much - i have never lived in the middle east so am really excited about the possibility but just want to make sure i know what i am getting myself in for!
