Hey Amin! It's nice to find you here. We exchanged a few emails about a year ago. I was looking for some advice. Thanks man! :)
I'm pretty sure they can't tell. Some younger ones who may have watched alot of Bollywood movies should be able to but almost no one knows if hindi is only exclusively spoke in India.
It's pretty safe.
I don't know about the visa details etc but being able to speak urdu/hindi fluently should be enough. No one's will be able to tell if you are an Indian as alot of people from Punjab province who speak Urdu and look like indians visit alot.
The locals will mistake you for being a Punjabi. :)
You can visit anytime you want. Outside visitors do come all the time. It's not as dangerous as the media portrays.
Tourists used to visit these places all the time. But they stopped coming as much after 9/11. Nowadays it's pretty much normal and peaceful.
There are alot of foreign YouTubers who have made vlogs. You should check em out.
I've never been to Afghanistan.
Yes! There's a big local software dev industry in Pakistan but i work remotely for foreign companies.
No explosion. Just occasional jamming.
Yup! Original fully automatic.
You can get original ammunition as well as the ones made locally but i would recommend original ones because the local ammunition can not be trusted as they may jam your weapon.
Yes! it can be like a status symbol but you almost never carry it when you go out. And is mostly kept in your house. You can definitely carry a pistol on you though under your shirt.
Most people get it when they become adults.
For me i bought when i got into college aka became an adult.
Mostly people don't use it that often. Sometimes occasionally when guests from other places come here then they love to fire into shooting targets in open spaces.
Regarding the gun-related crime here in Tribal areas i would say it's almost zero because a thief will never snatch some men's phone because he knows he maybe packing a 9mm. :)
People here LOVE guns. Everyone owns multiple guns in their house. I think it's our pukhtoon culture and a sense of pride and security that comes with owning a gun.
When i was a kid my father used to clean his AK every other week and i would sit by him silently and enjoying as he broke it down into multiple pieces and then make it into one piece after cleaning it.
For me i wanted to have my own original Russian AK because having an original AK instead of one made locally is like having an iPhone 11 pro here. :)
Oh hey! I'm from that area. If you guys have any queries. :). Also the quality isn't top notch, but for the price you are paying it's ok. You are much better off buying a Russian AK-47 for $1100 like i did than buying it from Khyber for $120.
Seems like this post got shadowbanned. It doesn't appear on the front page nor the second or third. while posts with way less points and comment activity are visible. Also the title got changed from the original one.

He is running his own company now.
What do they do and how does one start working at a hedge fund?
I posted it with the original title. I don't know why the HN moderators almost always change titles. Happened to me a couple of times.
