Kane Farabaugh's Kanestergram

It's been a day filled with activity and unexpected surprises here in the capitol of Pakistan, Islamabad. I arrived on an Emirates Airline flight from Dubai about 2:00AM. The Islamabad International Aiport is under heavy guard. A bomb explosion over the weekend damaged several vehicles and left it's mark on the exterior. No one was injured in the blast, but security at an airport already known for it's lack if security is the top priority. I'm staying in Rawalpindi, the sister city of Islamabad.
