Happy New Year to “Team ProPakistani” and “All Members”
We are here to underestimate our country. Shame on us. There were lots of beautiful and breath taking fireworks in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. But didn`t see single pictures anywhere over here. Rather promoting our country, we are promoting others. Have they ever did this?
We are doing a separate post for Pakistan. :)
No they didn’t, because the fireworks carried out in our country are nowhere near to theirs.
hahaha. Stop being like a frog in a well. No firework in Pakistan can be compared with such countries
Burj khalifa was a total disappointment…..looks good just in the video
this time Ras al khaima rocked.
