Would appreciate any comments!  |
11 years, thats a long time. Much have changed since. Anyway, Islamabad is the safest in Pakistan. More security here and much more peace!
Are u looking for hostel accommodation or Hotels?? Every college has its own hostel complete with food and basic necessities. If u r looking for Hotels, Serena, Pearl Continental, Holiday Inn and many other are situated in Islamabad. They might not be cheap but their Quality is better than all others. Apart from that for long time stay u can rent an apartment here too!
Food is not a problem here, there are many restaurants here in Islamabad! And shopping is not a problem either. there are many markets here but expensive, u can try going to Rawalpindi for cheaper stuff!!
