Expats currently in ISB?

Pakistan doesn't seem to have much of an active expat community If I was there I'd love to meet up!

You can say that again.

Primarily there is not much of an expat community to begin with given the security situation and whatnot.

Most expats are attached to the various missions and probably barricaded behind security in their various compounds.

We had a pretty lively forum in Libya, probably the liveliest around, Julien might have the info on the statistics.

We are now in Karachi "temporarily" till something concrete comes up on the radar. In the meantime, if I can be of any assistance here please feel free to drop me a line.

Take it easy.

Hi Kayaker and all,

Hey Y'all!

I am looking for a place in Islamabad. I tried searching google but I am not getting any legit places. I will be living alone but I would not mind living with someone if they are dependable.
I am going to be doing my LLB.

Can anyone suggest me places to rent. And how are studio apartments in Islamabad? If anyone knows the prices?
And is it better to get a place on installments lets say if I consider buying a place instead of renting? If you know how that works through a bank, please advise how it works.

And what is the current situation in pakistan? I know the media is kinda biased but I want to know from someone who is already there. I have visited Islamabad a few time in the past 5 years but living there is different than visiting I guess.

Thankyou everyone in advance!
