I feel that your thread title is somewhat misleading.
People's understanding of it might be that you had no access to media because you were in a third world country.
But that's not the case, you just didn't happen to have access to media.
But yeah where in Pakistan did you go?
Out of interest, do you, or any of our other fellow South Asians here have, or have seen, a map of Punjab that shows both the section of Punjab that's in India and the section that's in Pakistan?
