Thieves @ home - Islamabad
Thieves @ home

Most of people living in Islamabad actually belong to different parts of the country. They shifted here because of job when city was built in 1964. On special events like Eid or long holidays, residents leave for their native towns thus city gets a deserted look. And you know what, that is a real treat for thieves. It often happens that when residents come back home after holidays, they find their homes empty. My tip is that don't leave your home unattended. Its better to have a security guard at home.

Earth Quakes - Islamabad
Earth Quakes Earth Quakes Review

Islamabad and its twin city Rawalpindi comes under active seismic zone after October 8, 2005 earthquake measuring 7.6. After shocks are quite normal and they range between 5 -6 magnitude mostly. Strong shocks also occur few times ranging 6 to 6.5. But there is nothing to worry about. Life is very normal and no such specific risk involved. Just keep in mind that earth quakes are natural activity and they can be expected any where in the world. So no need to worry and enjoy in the beautiful city of Islamabad.
