Islamabad, the 2nd most beautiful capital

[RAMPAGE]

The link says Islamabad is more beautiful than Rome.

Well it depends on your taste. It's like comparing apples and oranges !!!

And how do you know that? The so called "William's" use of English is akin to that of other South Asians.

True though, I only read his Islamabad portion and was like a Pakistani wrote this but then saw William.

Natural beauty, greenery, Peaceful environment, divided in sectors and every sector for own purpose, hill sites + surrounded by magallah hills, buildings,shopping malls, Parks, 10 line roads, underpasses ,bridges ,not overcrowded city, free from pollution, free from noise, scenery from peer sohawah or lake view point for visitors. Everything in one package and this is called Islamabad.

What of the insecurity of assuming everything good coming about Pakistan must be coming from a Pakistani, or the insecurity which leads to this excuse. Obviously you haven't met a lot of people from other parts of the world. Most of the world does not speak proper or even correct english. Had you had enough sense to click on Williams' name you would have been presented with dozens of different lists compiled by him which have no mention of Pakistan in them, amusingly he has a list for the "Top ten refineries in India".


It's funny how most of our neighbors have never visited Islamabad or any of the other cities reported in the list and yet know exactly how they look. Insecurities, insecurities, what of these insecurities....

Have you been to either Rome or Islamabad? I have been to both...So def Islamabad hands down if those 2 are in comparison!

 

[Dubious]

Well actually it depends on the criteria set by the proposed...

Lets see the list:

London, Berlin, Washington, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Budapest, Ottawa and Moscow.....

Well, if the criteria is based on something different then yes Islamabad stands out...

Tokyo being the most developed looking in the sense of skyscrapers...

Rome may be full of history but seriously, it isnt "beautiful" def not....almost looks like development stopped sometime in the 1980 or 1990s...

Paris, apart from the Eiffel tower and art galleries there isnt much you can do there....

Budapest is unique that I can give it! Certainly diff as a capital!

Moscow is another different place and is def beautiful

Never been nor seen pictures of Washington nor Ottawa so cant compare...

Islamabad stands out as it is def cleaner and much greener than London and Rome...It prob isnt as developed as Tokyo....It doesnt have a unique architecture as Budapest, Moscow nor Berlin (each of which have a unique architecture but the same style is all over the city...it doesnt show diversity...)

I Know it's Istanbul, I have been there 2 times... Istanbul is called the Administrative capital of Istanbul Province is it not?

Being a Niazi i have very strong connections to Turkey, so it is always a cultural journey for me whenever I go back.

Pakistanis are allways welcomed to Turkey, i think you know it better if you ever mentioned that you are a Pakistani there.

Washington exhibits all the problems that come with a pre-planned city i.e. it looks and feels sterile (a problem which is also faced by Islamabad, to some extent). I don't even know why it's in the list. Ottawa on the other hand definitely does have character. It is green, has beautiful old buildings with colonial architecture mixed in with some modern ones, and is also clean. Its definitely pretty with the river running through it but at the same time lacks a strong statement which other Canadian cities like Vancouver or Montreal give. It's a quiet clean town for old government employees.

Indeed, I have always had a very super experience when in Turkey.
