Karachi , General info:
8/10

Karachi is the main financial and industrial hub in Pakistan, a country with a GDP greater than Norway and Denmark combined. Karachi contributes nearly 70% of Pakistan's $420 billion GDP (source: CIA World Facts Book). Karachi's sea ports (Karachi main and Port Qasim) handle nearly 100% of Pakistan's international trade. The city's attractions include its mild weather, and its open space inland. Karachi International Airport has historically been a hub for international airlines, though recently it has lost its luster to Dubai and Mumbai.

Karachi's industries include automobile plants (Toyota, Suzuki, Nissan and local auto and auto parts manufacturers), textiles, steel, oil refineries, chemical and fertilizer, food processing, space launch systems (Sonmiani Beach), and nuclear power.

Karachi' tourist attractions include its white sand beaches, moonlight crab fishing, and its sea dolphins, fine Pakistani cuisine mostly focused around goat meat, beef, chicken, and fish.

Karachi , Cheap stuff:
7/10

Karachi has been found to be the least expensive and the most cost-efficient city of the world in terms of hotel rates for its Sheraton, Marriott, Holiday Inn, Avari (ex Hilton) and Pearl Continental (ex Intercontinental) hotels. Average room costs under $150 per night at these hotels. The finest 7-course dinner at one of the most expensive restaurants will cost under $20, while a good meal in a medium restaurant will be under $8.

The city has recently become a dumping ground of inexpensive Chinese products, thus totally annihilating local manufacture of same products. The Chinese products, however, are available at prices much lower than anywhere else in the world. A 1.0 GB USB flash memory is available for under $5.

Pizza Hut ($6 for a 10-inch pizza with five toppings), McDonalds ($1.20for a full meal), and Kentucky Fried Chicken ($1.50 for a 12-piece all white meat pack) are some of the American brands with outlets across the entire city. But watch for the toppings and add-ons --- they all have some local flavoring also available.

Karachi , Safety:
5/10

As in all large cities, Karachi has a high crime rate, though the murders rate in Karachi is still above half that in New York, and on a per capita basis, it is as low as that of San Francisco. Be sure to -not- carry any valuables with you, or a large sum of cash or expensive cameras and jewelery, unless you are with a group. Carjacking and cellphone jacking are favorite hobbies of local criminals.

Keeping a low profile, regardless of where you are, is always a wise choice. Showing off cell phones, cameras, and jewellery, and carrying a lot of hard cash is not a good idea. Travel with those Pakistanis who have been to other parts of the world and make good friends. This might help in addressing safety issues. People, in general, are quite progressive, hospitable, and hard working.

London , General info:
10/10

London is a beautiful city. It's not exactly Las Vegas, but at night there is still a good amount of light. If you want to see the whole of London, but don't have enough time or you're too tired, just visit the London Eye. But if you're scared of heights, there's isn't any other way to see London (except for on a plane). If you look for reviews on London, most say that is a city they would gladly visit again. One yahoo contributor said: "I was lucky enough to live in London for a few months. I loved it and would return back there if the right opportunity came around. No place in the world has such a mixture of cultures, history and energy that London does. I love the cafes, the museums, the double-decker buses, the tube, the cathedrals, the pubs, and so much more. The only downside is the bad weather, but that's not a big enough negative for me to take off a star."

London is different for the expenses. There are of course, more expensive cities, but still. Also, it was the home of many well known monarchs.

Henry VIII

London , Food:

The food is perfect. There's all sorts of food. There's Italian, French, Japanese, Chinese, Asian, Mexican, Spanish, Danish, German etc. There's healthy, there's fast food, there's vegan/vegetarian food, there's meat ....

and all sorts of drinks. And the best, or worst, it depends if you smoke, thing about London is that you are only aloud to smoke outside. So, in restaurants, you are not always covered in smoke.

London , Hotels:
10/10

The hotels are very high quality in London. There's bed and breakfast, there 2/3 stars to 5 stars there's all sorts of hotels. (But truly, the best places for Hotels are Dubai and Bahamas and some other places for the series of hotels: Atlantis.)

London , Safety:
10/10

As long as you stay in central London, in places that are crowded or with a lot of people, you will be safe. But pubs and poor empty places are very dangerous. And NEVER go to the park at night if it's empty. It is one of the most popular places for stabbings.
