Quality of Life in Islamabad, Pakistan

Islamabad Citizen (Must read Before Going/Living Islamabad).

Islamabad is Capital of Pakistan but things are very different from this survey.
Crime : Crime is Highly but its mostly targeted (so murders, high profiles cases occur but only very specific and mostly amount rivalries)

Safety: Its generally safe at day time and crowded places but snatching /robberies are very common now a days. At once in life time every family member will suffer from robberies / snatching phone and money. So, please dont walk alon at night and less crowded places, go in groups and possibly along with males.

Police : Police is generally corrupt and ready to take bribes if you got influenced. But dont offer them bribe openly because bribe laws are very strict but behind the scene even high ranking officers are ready to take bribe. If you find your self in such position offer them bribe politely or stand against them if you belong to strong background (financially and media wise).In Pakistan police is like prostitutes , have money and power do whatever you want .Otherwise be ready for unseen troubles.If something happened to you like robbery / theft 99 % chances police will take bribe to even write your report and address your issue or overseen your problem at all.They dont care unless your an high-profile person.They will blame you if something happened to you.Aleays keep this in mind .(In Pakistan , Police is not your friend its bribe industry only)
Cost of living: In Posh areas, Bahria town, DHA,and other big societies quality of life is better safety, crime ratio , cleanliness is far bette than other local areas, but It comes with high cost of living , high rents and high living expenses.choose wisely.If budget is not an issue always prefer to live in societies because they are safe clean ,and guarded, .Other wise in local areas, things and rents are cheap but then quality of life goes down significantly , no side walks, Crime , safety, food is good if you choose wisely.

Racism: You will not experience racism unless you are putting yourself in very different situation i mean extreme( abusing someone , flexing without reason)

Public /Youth: General public and Youth is warm and welcoming .They are ready to help you if you ask for assistance or stuck somewhere . Some back ships are still there, if they found your guest /new to the area they can try to influence you or take benefit from you.Always make conscious decisions.
Shopping : Be careful while shopping on cheap stores or shopes, because sometime they will come to fight if visiting their shop you didnt buy anything.They will try to intimidate you to buy .Try to look at their behaviour and professionalism before visiting their products. With basic face reading and gut feelings you can judge that they will treat you better .
Tip: (Dont go alone, always have male with you, Dont flex anything, dont be outlier, be humble)
