What is it like to retire in Pakistan?
"Life for a retiree in Pakistan and its surroundings can be quite enjoyable. There is an active expat community in many of the larger cities, providing a great opportunity to meet people from all over the world. There are also plenty of cultural attractions to explore, such as the ancient ruins of Mohenjo-daro, the majestic Badshahi Mosque, and the bustling bazaars of Lahore.
