    Good to see, but I wouldn't move my family there even on the various oil company compounds.
    A boss of mine (a federal agent) followed her husband there. He had gotten some crazy-money job offer in the oil industry so the bureau did her a favor and allowed her to stay technically employed in LWOP (leave without pay) status for 2 years. When she came back, she was different...and not in a good way. Yeah, her husband had pulled down big money and they were set for life. But she was a lot quieter and more reserved. I won't say she lacked self-confidence because I didn't work closely with her after she returned but that was the impression she gave.

    She'd always been a pushy, loudmouthed hard-ass but she was smart and fair and all her employees loved her. When she got back, she just quietly slipped into an analyst position, stayed away from field work, and retired as soon as she could. She spoke to me briefly about it, once, including the need to stay penned up in the compound or cover herself and get an escort to go out but she didn't care to share much in the way of details. I always wondered what went on over there that changed her.

    I love butter chicken! Try out saag paneer, biryani, and nihari next time too. Nihari may be a bit spicy though, and different people make it different ways.

    Since I don't even eat jalapenos, the spicy fish was a bit much for me. The butter chicken was excellent. I eat saag paneer at India Palace all the time. Love it. I'd like to put that stuff in an IV and stay connected to it 24/7.

    Not as buttery as you'd think just from hearing the name. It's diced boneless chicken in a sweet curry masala sauce. You eat it with naan.

    Hate to bump up my old thread but here's a vice 5 part series on Karachi from a few years back where they go to Karachi and visit one of the most dangerous neighborhoods of the city too, among other things.

    A lot more interesting than anything I posted pics of lol
