	I have been on two business trips to Karachi in Pakistan. The first time was late summer 1987, that stay lasted approximately 1 month. The other time was winter 1989. I wanted to take as many pictures as possible from that time but didn't have enough time, the working hours where was too long. Many years has passed since then and now I have digitized the photos. Unfortunately the picture quality is not so good because the colours of the slides had aged and my scanner is not the best for slides.

From Wikipedia: Karachi Karachi is capital of province Sindh as well as the largest and most populous metropolitan city of Pakistan and the 2nd-largest city in the world by population. It is also the main seaport and financial centre of the country. ↓ Click at the pictures = Larger picture ↓ The cars (buses and trucks) in Pakistan are like rolling artworks.
