Fast food sells fast in Pakistan
KARACHI (Reuters)


Walk out of the airport in Pakistan's port city of Karachi, and the first thing you notice is a giant McDonald's billboard and restaurant.

Walk along the seafront, and a giant Kentucky Fried Chicken competes with the golden arches for your custom.

American foreign policy might be deeply unpopular in Pakistan, but U.S.-style food is selling fast, confounding a boycott call from the country's hardline Islamist parties.

Outside the restaurants, burly private security guards brandish pump-action rifles to make sure their diners are safe. ---

NOVEMBER 9th 2002 < Ramadan >
MOVIE:
We will take the kids to the Cinema / Theatre to watch a Walt Disney movie which will be decided later, options are: Ice Age, Toy Story II, Scooby Doo Movie, Shrek, and Spider Man.

DECEMBER 14th 2002
VISIT TO THE NAVAL DOCKYARD:
This will be a very educational activity. Kids will be taken to a Naval Ship at the dockyard & will be shown around. The concept behind this activity is excitement of going near water (with security), secondly they'll be introduced to armed forces and the great jobs that they have done for the country.

2. Hmmm
That's also entirely inaccurate and someone should sue!

Shrek is not a Disney film.

Oh yeah. The bit about the armed forces is odd too.
