I can’t believe that it has been almost two weeks since I last walked the streets of Islamabad. I adjusted surprisingly very well back to Western culture considering I went from somewhere that I couldn’t look a man in the eye and always had to wear a scarf to being able to talk to people of the other gender and wear shorts and t-shirt! I did really love it there, don’t get me wrong. I met some amazing people and will never forget them.
As some of you know Pakistan is not in the greatest state right now. Infact I was in the cournty durring the Red Mosque seige and left just before the segie ended. It is hard to read the news and know that things are getting worse there. Some people are perdicting was against fundamentalists. This country is more then just a place on the map for me, it is a country close to my heart. The people there are not just part of the 6 billion people on this earth, they are faces with names. They are people like you and me, except that they live a life of fear and helplessness.
