The suggestion was to draw attention towards other areas as well. Until KMB finds some blogger or until I buy rickshaw :) to contribute I would suggest to include activities of organization that span whole city like The Citizen Foundation etc. As far as post is concerned, it would be great to include approx costs and locations so one gets better idea like you did in your comments for UDASS Thanks for considering the earlier comment.

I realized that the majority of my experiences have been in what many would call the burgher area of town. I think Danny said it best when he said that if you or anyone was interested in contributing different perspectives, that we would welcome that full heartedly. Also the idea of getting the story of a rickshaw drivers day at work is actually very interesting, it might inspire a few of my next few posts... And thanks everyone for the places to visit! PS. UDASS: at the Karachi Port, there are boats that take people out into the sea and they cook you crab and fish. a great experience, if you dont mind the sight of lots of shipwrecked tankers, and huge shipping riggs. Its government or military owned, so you can't take pictures... Great fun though! Abdullah, you raise a very valid concern, one which I was conscious of while posting this entry.

For me DAMASCUS is the best place to hang out with friends. But it was much better a few years ago when that area was not very much commercial in the night. Low lights, calm environment, arabian music, delicious forouge platter and ever best sheeshaa. good info neoka, still needs some more, can you specify the exact location of the CRAB BOATING AT THE DOCKS ?

If they happen to reside in Defence/Clifton, that's what they'll know best. I don't think I'd want to read their opinions on areas of the city which they are not familiar. If you reside elsewhere and feel that issues/events in those areas should be blogged about, be proactive and take the initiative to become a blogger. I'm sure Mansoor (or whoever the current KBM administrators) are will give all due consideration to your request especially if you will blog about different areas/issues. Basically, don't complain that bloggers don't blog about what you want them to -- they will blog about what they feel comfortable and knowledgable about. Similarily if you feel an NGO isn't addressing what you feel is important, then go join them and influence their agenda instead of just complaining. Take the initiative! @Abdullah
