Who the Fuck Vacations in Pakistan?

Of course I feel bad for the latest round of nine tourists killed in some place I can’t imagine a tourist would ever want to visit. Like tribal Pakistan. There’s a really big mountain there. It’s called Nanga Parbat, the ninth tallest in the world. It’s affectionately known as ‘Killer Mountain’, which ought to give you some pause. If you do visit, be a good climber because it may be your only escape route from the jihadists who’ve sworn an oath to kill foreigners. That kind of shit doesn’t happen when you visit Hawaii. Been three times, I don’t remember dudes with Kalashnikovs praising their deity and strafing the haoles with bullets on the Diamond Head tour. Though I have been the victim of some pretty weak Mai Tais, which can be an equal bummer.

Many foreign tourists stay away from Pakistan because of the perceived danger of visiting a country that is home to a large number of Islamic militant groups, such as the Taliban and al-Qaida, which mostly reside in the northwest near the Afghan border. — TIME magazine

Yeah, this is merely perceived danger. Until they kill you at base camp. If your summer travel plans currently have you scheduled for Pakistan, think of changing to somewhere safer. Like Mexico.
