Pakistan (even though my dad was born in India - pre-partition). I have been there 3 times - 1988, 1992, and 2005.
My parents go back every few years. Bring stuff back (knockoff clothes plenty of time). Sometimes a few interesting trinkets (I have a key ring holder that is based on an Indian style in the shape of an elephant). I have a suitcase of Indian/Pakistani style clothes that have been brought back for me - mostly to wear for weddings.
Oh, and food... I have a list of stuff I'd like to eat for when I go back to NJ
(this year it was Nihari, Haleem, Biryani, and Kitchri Keema). And there are plenty of good Indian restaurants down in Atlanta too.
