Today I’m flying out to Pakistan to visit with some friends of mine who moved with their family to Karachi a couple of years ago. It should be an interesting week.

Karachi is hot and crowded. It’s one of the world’s largest cities both in population and area, it’s a volatile place that doesn’t make the news for good reasons.

But other than that I don’t know very much, I know there are power cuts and traffic jams, common to most large cities developing or otherwise (well the traffic jams anyway). So I’m looking forward to learning, seeing, experiencing something of a new culture. I’m looking forward to seeing my friends who made a big decision to move there.

Sadly, I’m not travelling with my wife and little boy, I’ll miss them. Do pray for them while I’m away and for safe travelling.
