I have been trying to find information on Europeans or Westerneres living in Karachi, as my daughter is considering a relocation there - she is Canadian and Christian. Is there ANYONE out there who is able to share experiences?

I grew up in a wonderful Karachi, in the 60s and 70s, It was tolerant, clean , upbeat, very international and exciting. I spent a number of years in the 90s, and though live in the US now , visit it every year. The attachment to Karachi is personal, ... Love it till I die... but the reality is that it is a very differnt and difficlut place to live in .Crime is rampant , daily life for everyone, especially the poor and middle class, is an agonizing, struggle..... Most expats go there with their eyes open and learn to cope .The interesting thing is that many are sad to leave and return to their own countries.....I would still recommend...go there its an experience. you will never forget. ....

I am on the point of accepting a teaching job in Karachi. I am of Pakistani origin, but I grew up in the UK. Any advice would be great. How is it for families? I have 2 young kids.
