Pakistan sits snugly between Windsor Forest and La Jalousie on the West Coast Demerara approximately nine kilometres from the Vreed-en-Hoop Police Station. The village is home to an average population of 100 persons, most of whom are Muslims.
I first heard of Pakistan some time ago from a colleague of mine, but it wasn’t until I was walking through the village one day with a friend that she pointed out to me where I was.
Almost every lot in Pakistan has a house on it, vacant lots are rare. My friend explained that the village starts at Gap Road also called ND&S Road (after the furniture store situated there) and ends at the Pakistan Bridge Road.
