McDonalds Islamabad
Signs of times. Anti-car bomb barriers stand like mute sentinels as schoolgirls on a field trip march to McDonalds. Unless you go to high-profile target areas like Serena Hotel, the Diplomatic Enclave, and government office buildings one can be easily lulled into a false sense of security that Islamabad is a peaceful and safe city. The checkpoints and armed soldiers are simply grim reminders that sometimes it is not.
