Islamabad much safer than Washington DC

[Mugwop]

Having had a decent exposure to DC- i disagree

georgetown has the best cupcakes and just 1 is 8$. Wow!
red skins are over rated.
The metro trains can't function properly especially the red line,too much announcement to cover it up.
Subway is the only vegetarian food source.
smartrip card plans are ridiculous,Me and some indian dude from vienna agreed on this.
The museums aren't so good either especially the smithsonian one,Try their space "crap" ice cream.
Drivers in islamabad are terrible but in DC they are not so good either. Plus look at their police
There is only 1-2 MAC stores in all of DC and in manhattan you will find plenty just manhattan.

Now lets look at this Vis a v Washington DC

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_the_United_States#2010.E2.80.93present

last event dates back to:

October 2010 Bombing 0 0

Washington, D.C. Farooque Ahmed conspired with law enforcement officials posing as al-Qaeda to bomb Arlington Cemetery, the Pentagon City subway station, Crystal City subway station, and Court House subway station.[90]

In this respect we can conclude that the Washington DC is very much safer than Islamabad, This article can never be taken seriously to begin with.

Islamabad is my favourite city in Pakistan, I literally used to roam around independently at times with leggings and dresses, jeans and t-shirts, skirts and tights. Eat amazing food and lots of shopping. Loved it.

I think your favourite colors are ' boring ' and ' monotonous ' to be exact.

Slowing itching towards Dadi from Bibi. Great!

 

[El Sidd]

I had to emphasise attire because people think Islamabad is very conservative when it's not. Yes you get the glares but sod it just do your own thing and plus I'm not staying anymore on a forum where you get judged. You're alright mate hahaha

Dear eventual Dadi,

I get where you coming from.

But that's the beauty of the thing.
BBC did a piece on being a social chameleon. You should read that.

 

[El Sidd]

Dear Dada Ji I gotta concert to go to. Catch ya later

Peace out

Sure enjoy. But that Elvis is a fake just so you know.

And no details please on how the dadi busted moves there like Betty.

No it's not! I have lived in both places.

Why is Indian *** on fire? Just because nobody talks about the sole super power of the world does not mean that it is safe but the lecture of human rights and rights of minorities is reserved for the developing world particularly the muslim world.

Seriously man! I don't know what the hell is their problem? Most of these indian yahoos have no idea what they are talking about. The police in NY are brutal and extreme but atleast they do their job.In DC cops only go after murderers and killers,thieves and other criminals are ignored.

Is this your insecurity showing? Of course when referring to 'safe', one doesn't just take terrorism into account, because in any country in the world, terrorism just accounts for a small fraction of people being killed.

Also, there have been no terrorist attacks in Islamabad for a long, long time.

All Valid points. To each his own. I like DC due to work related stuff mostly.
Try the newly opened National Museum of African American History and Culture in DC the next time you visit. It's pretty amazing.
That said- I'm all about NY too, not Manhattan though- Long Island is for me.

Crimes are actually reported in DC, even though the apathy of Police in trying to file a crime is similar.
Moreover, the nature of crimes and demographic is different, jurisdictions , ViP movement and social considerations make the comparison not only pointless but also an exercise in self gloating.

Murder is not something that usually goes unreported though. Rape, assaults, maybe. But not murders.
