Karachi Chronicles Chapter 9
Acquiring a brilliant keep sake is part and parcel of travelling overseas. As a collector, or borderline hoarder if my mum has a say, I definitely like getting little knickknacks at every new destination. Some of my main go-tos are stickers and patches, generally specific to the place I have visited.

Little did I know, finding the right goods in Pakistan would prove slightly more challenging.
