My introduction to Pakistan

Waqas is a very open-minded entrepreuner with PhD in Biochemical yet remains in Pakistan to welcome visitors from around the world. This week falls on some festival at the Heritage Museum, and the biggest mall was closed due to sercurity tightening (yes I visited in the week when the blast occured), but Waqas was quick in showing me other options. Chai and cheese bread were the highliight for me, and as Waqas says, I will visit other parts of Pakistan, the real Pakistan next time:)
