I guess Baghdad wasn't available

Despite my occasional case of the nerves, overall I like to think I'm reasonably open-minded about having new travel experiences. But I was recently asked to go someplace that, while probably really interesting and maybe I'm being completely irrational and wimpy, I just have zero desire to visit at the moment: Karachi, Pakistan. I had a scheduling conflict so it didn't really matter, but I have to say that--with apologies to the good people of Pakistan--even if my schedule was free, it would have taken me about 0.00000002 seconds to say "thanks, but no." Instead it looks like my next trip might be to the slightly less exciting and much more characterless city of Frankfurt...
