    Pakistan is an incredibly beautiful country, and the people, once you get to know them on a personal level, are very friendly and gracious. They will not be outdone in hospitality, I once gave a Pakistani friend a box of chocolates for his children. He gave me a hand knitted sweater with ethnic design from their village costing probably 20 times more than what I gave him.

I thank you for presenting the soft image and true face of my country the peace-loving people and hospitality. I don't know the country of your origin but you are a wonderful human being. my name is Noor Muhammad, I belong to Northern Pakistan and live in District Abbottabad in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa the former (NWFP Province ) of Pakistan. I offer free-of-cost residence and food etc as a token of love and hospitality in my area ( District Abbottabad) if you visit again Pakistan.. Thanks for this video again... Stay blessed and happy... keep exploring the world and presenting its soft image to spread love. humanity comes first..
