You've named one of the few
You've named one of the few countries that fit into my category of "not for all the tea in China". Abject hatred of westerners, a very real prospect of being abducted and decapitated and more corruption than you can dream of. The whole country is obviously not all like that, but I'd bet my bottom dollar you can't spot the difference between those that are and arent.

lol if you think that Karachi is one of the safest places in Pakistan.
I know nothing about Pakistan
I know nothing about Pakistan (you misspelt it in the title of this thread), but I think you should go for it if it's just an internship before a guaranteed full time job. At the very least you'll have some cool stories.
