The wild rover

Oxblog's Patrick Belton is in Karachi, and doing rather well.

My new hosts, taken by my fetching shalwar kameez and resulting instant Pakistani credibility, have quite kindly opened their rolodex to me, with result I will now scurry off and talk with a large number of military men and journalists. I now somehow know people in Pakistan. I love my life.

Given that, one hopes my entire spotty journalistic career doesn't take the form of an extended suicide note.

Indeed. As Sergeant Esterhaus used to say: Hey, let's be careful out there.
