    Extremely impressed by the charity of the Pakistanis all around you. Very few of them treated you badly or were even rude. All of them smiled and were helpful from the guards to the train employees and your bunk mates. What great people. It's a shame they live in rough circumstances.

      Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven

      Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
      Holy Spirit Can give you peace guidance and purpose and the Lord will
      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

      As a woman, it's not advisable to interact with the local men. Speaking as a Pakistani women. Especially if you're foreign looking (white, namely) because you look "exotic". If you talk or look, will take it as a sign of you being interested in them. Trust me, they think you just saying "thank you" as a flirting let alone smiling in their direction. Because of their lack of interactions with women, they think women want to throw themselves in their direction.

    Its bittersweet to see how stations in Pakistan look so similar to some stations in India. The trains looked similar from outside to the older ones (still running) we have, the concept of Coolies (even the uniform) and the chaos. You could see how we were the same country just some decades ago.

    We went from Faisalabad to Karachi on a Daewoo Sleeper Bus…it was such a great experience…so much more comfortable than your train experience for sure and it took us around 15 hours only…whereas a train would have taken us around 22-24 hours…and not to forget the delays…price was also reasonable around 8k with snacks and breakfast included for this amazing experience…bus is always on time! We also took the bus back.
    Online bookings are only available 5 days prior and the sleeper bus timing starts from 9PM…you can also buy tickets at the counter…subject to availability…to book tickets online you do need some kind of Pakistani ID I believe…not sure though…I didn’t book the tickets myself 😅
    I would recommend taking a blanket with you and a lightweight bed sheet or anything like that to use it on the mattress for hygiene reasons….otherwise the experience was outclass and you got your privacy 😊

    The lady says at the beginning there NO FIRST CLASS on this train. You weren’t on any first class carriage. She explains standard class with AC is the highest level on this train and Ben even repeats what she says . So the title is misleading and explains why standard class looks the same .

    Flashbacks to doing the hippy-trail the whole way around India/Nepal 40 years ago. 'Glad I did it when young'!? [17/18]. Those trains haven't changed one bit. The kaleideoscope and random kindness of fellow passengers can be a surprise. Happy memories for us all :)

      India is not like this now. You don't even have to ask one person, where the train is, everything's available on phone.
      Plus there are digital display boards that show where your bogie stops.
