Great post bro. We are becoming very soft. Had a engineer friend assigned to highway project in Pakistan in the rural north. Very positive chap. Brought back first class mangoes and some great stories, pictures etc. Because of his great attitude, his French employers have promoted him and he is now in charge of half the world.
The best varieties of mangoes are in India.
Yes. Very interesting stories from Pakistan.
Pakistan is another "hard$hip" posting. If your friend has a foreign look, and was in Islamabad or Rawalpindi, he would probably be at the centre of attraction. Everyone would want to take photo with him. But the women were shy and could only steal side glances.
The bookshops are in Melody Sqaure, Islamabad.
The highway even more interesting. The old Bedford trucks all decorated like Singapore funeral lorries.
In the right season, your friend would have apricots, berries, raisins, etc.
In the rural north, expect electricity cuts on certain days, shower in blackish color water, enjoy the lamb and the friendly restaurant services.
Be generous. Tip the waiters and buy drinks from them.
These postings make life interesting, and make us better persons.
I need to add this point. Singapore women are more adventurous when it comes to going to the more exotic destinations for work and travel.
