Travelling
Wednesday October 08, 2008 I've just learnt that there's no travel ban for Sun employees going to Pakistan.
I was a little surprised, I have to say. The reason for the lack of ban is that the Marriott attack was a targeted bombing of a specific target, namely the various politicians who were expected to be there at the time, but who weren't.
The other hotel we stay in, the Serena, is actually much nicer than the Marriott. It's also more secure, thanks to a greater distance between where cars park and where the actual hotel is - the driveway from the main entrance is now closed and you have to walk up a small hill to get to reception.
All that said, the Marriott attack was obviously rather unsettling. I would prefer to stick to day trips for now, if at all possible.
