^ i don't think he built that place... most probably its been like that for past presidents as well.
but like kaptaan sahib said, it does look like a palace.
btw that comparison is not quite fair. Pictures taken at different occasions and quite unrelated events can't be compared.
p.s. who's the blond in the first pic with musharraf and his wife?
p.s.2: no i'm not interested in the blond, i want to know whether its a paki function (i.e. you can see such spectacles in pakistan now) or somewhere outside?
