Load-shedding and heat. . Reason I have to skip my semester to visit Pakistan. Can't go in summer break and bear the garmi. :p

bibi!!! it depends on your purpose of visit - if its the shopping that brings you to the street than yes I would prefer Jan & Feb , you can save yourself from the menace of snowfall in New York ----
but if its the Ghomna phirna than nothing better than June -July ----one can have enless trip to the Norther area,heck even places in Murree i.e Namli Mera etc ----

heat is the only thing in the list I cant tolerate. even in uk when it gets hot. Desi people give me weird look when I say that(being Indian I am expected to be immune to heat)

Number 4 can be a nightmare for me. I mean some guys remember stuff I did years ago that even I dont now remember I did.
Cousin: So how was that restaurant you went to in Copenhagen?
Me: Which one?

You know the one where you had salmon and potatoes.
huh?
Wait let me find it for you on your facebook pictures history!

Hahaha. Not just desis in my case even Americans are like, "but it's even hotter in Pakistan". Like I'm suppose to wear sweaters in summer, because I belong to Pakistan a "hot" country than America. :p

Bhae jii Shopping is part of ghoma phirna. but what if I say I have so many purposes. Shopping, plans with friends and family, Bhae Ki Shadi, and so many more? Now suggest me the time to go? Lol :p

Toba toba Kyun Marna chahte hain aap. Jab loo chale or temp 50 c. Allah Allah. But I never done wrong to you. Lol!
Wase these people can resist the heat and it will be hard for them to stand the cold temp and in our case it's vice versa.

Nahe marti aap wahan budhi aurtain reh saktey aap to phir bhe young hain (✳¯︶¯✳)
The good thing about this region no mosquitos the bad thing cobras,scorpions,weird looking giant insects are very common


I too have high tolerance for high tempreture the lowest i have experienced was -5 in somewhere near Abbotabad

main pakistani hoon albakistani nhi ok

Arab mulk mein saray Bakistani rehtay hain

 

[RoadRunner401]

Funniest thing is people in Canada and United States pay big bucks to escape to warmer temperature. Last year, I remember Winnipeg was -70, any takers, hey its much better then 50c.

But those budhi aunties spend their lives there. Even though I like summer better than winter, but Itna bhi Nahi. Isi liye to it's hard to visit Pakistan in summer break and now I have to skip a whole semester. :/
Look at the bad things you've mentioned :p Kuch Thori Kum bad Nahi? But -5 is very freaking cold and I guess the heating system is poor as well.

2015's summer broke the record of heat in USA. It was extremely hot.

I love to visit Pakistan and somehow manage quite good but few problems I face start right on the airport,

There people some people called "pulleys* on the airport in baggage area, they want to snatch my luggage while I am quite used to dragging my stuff myself all over the world, but here things are different, and then they demand some crazy amount money for a job which I could have done much better and that too in Pak Rs. but lately they have been accepting USD and Euros. Next time, I guess they will have started the credit card service.

(4) Relatives and Friends, No amount of gifts is sufficient and most of them are very polite and thankful; some do give a nasty feedback especially if one of them feels the gift is slightly less valued or beautiful than the other, I try to be as fair as possible. Second since I've managed to remain single, many believe I have "secret" wives and affairs with goris. Once two of my classmates followed me to Pakistan to get a cultural experience in the safety of someone they knew, they enjoyed their stay but I still can't forget double-edged puns hurled at me in Urdu, Punjabi, Pashto and even in English and broken French.

In reference (8) that happens to me a lot since my digestive system is intolerant to lactose and spices are bit too much some times. But the most embarrassing is the toilet itself, in homes some of the relatives and friends, they use commode totally flushed with the floor and there is no support for back so it takes quite of practice to sit on it stably.
To avoid most of the problems mentioned in OP, I always make sure to reach my home before the evening.
And in summer, I have some like minded cousins with whom I go to Northern areas and enjoy life in places like Naltar, Rama, etc

I like the expanse of homes in Pakistan and, I being averse to the life in the jungle of concrete buildings (also known as city), I like my home in village (near Chak Shehzad) with much cleaner and calmer than the environment of my landing/arrival city (Islamabad). With expansive lawns and kitchen garden to get fresh ecological food...We Pakistani should thank Allah Almighty for His blessings and avoid GMO with bug killers inside. Over all I love my visits

Why not visit northern regions in summers like Neelum,Galiyat and GB?
Thand aur bisti jitni mehsoos karo utni lagti hay

Americans start crying even when temp crosses 35C
