nuposse87 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 well i'm graduating on the 15th and then my family and I are visiting relatives in Pakistan starting on the 18th. It should make for a "different" experience. I haven't been back in 11 years. I mean, my family back there are all religious muslims, and i'm agnostic. I think i could get hung there if i were to say anything against islam. O.o Anyways i just thought i'd share this bit of info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanos Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Good luck and God speed.Will you attend any of the cricket matches while there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LD0506 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Well personally I think this is interesting. It might be different to hear what it's like "on the ground" there, so to speak, an actual first-person account as opposed to what the media says. Definitely give us a full update upon your return. Enjoy, and take a good camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air Force Cane Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 you might want to take a refresher course in praying to Mecca- Pakistan has more Al Qaeda than any other place on earth except for Iraq.. keep your eyes open and definitely talk with the FBI when you come back to DC. that will help you not having a background check done on you as a young male going to Pakistan for a few weeks..

I should wear a shirt saying "i'm agnostic" when they come for me, maybe they'll leave me alone:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air Force Cane Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 It doesn't work like that- the FBI doesn't have ten thousand officers just waiting around at the airports to interview people. you need to call up the local VA or MD field office when you come back and tell them what happened and anything you saw. that way you won't have problems down the road..

I can't eat chicken for 1 and a half months!!! O.ooh yah after we get osama to sign our jerseys we blow his head off and collect the reward. Man Ima eat everything. Its not often you get authentic Desi food. i mean yes, mothers food is second to none, but its not the same as being prepared in pakistan. and man, make SURE you eat all the street vendor food. its the best man. the kabob guys, the shwarma guys, the soda vala (lol) - a full meal for under $2. dayam. im gonna visit lahore for like a week during my stay - my boy has a house there...its like a full party. unlimited booze and charas (hash) and women. and yes, there are very very hot chicks in pakistan. the country is divided in two - the fundementalist and the progressives (my family). We are actually more liberal than some americans. shocking i know. and yea, we divy osamas reward money. Ill be in Peshawar for a few days, which is close to tribal areas (where osama is thought to be) shooting guns and smoking up. Ill get his ass high and turn his ass in. Should be fun. You down Nuposse? lol. Im gonna take a picture in my Portis jersey, with an AK in one hand, and a J in the other. Its gonna be an awesome pic. And yea man lahore is fun. there is alot to do. alot of culture mixed with modernity(is that a word?) make sure you go to Salt and Pepper. its a restaurant - kinda old to the lhr crowd but man that **** is trippy. just check it out. i went really inebriated. it was great.

SkinsHokieFan Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 And another note to several posters on this board Yeah you may go to Karachi, or Lahore or Islamabad, but its not like you are going to walk up to Al Qaeda in the middle of the street Pervez is after them also, they keep a low profile until they start bombing It is a 3rd world country, but odds are many of us who go back go back to relatives who are very well off. So its not like bullets and bombs are being sprayed everywhere In all my times visiting the only struggle has been getting used to eating again and handling the heat. I can handle the people, the cabs, whatever just fine I have never bumped into someone yelling "DEATH TO AMERICA" It is simply not like that in Pakistan, for the most part people are pretty relaxed and want to have fun.

I heard they got these hot dog guys that ride around. i wanna check that **** out. hahaha. Seriously, its ****ing disgusting. They have flies surrounding that ****. I'll eat a turd off the ground before I eat street vendor food I am loathe to eat out in non-chineese restaurants in Karachi to be honest. I'll eat more street vendor stuff in Islamabad, but that is because Islamabad is just like northern va, green and clean, but HOT as hell And seriously Rollins, you hitting up Peshwar? You gonna go up to Mauri also? Beautiful places, except Peshwar just isn't a fun city once the sun goes down and the shootings start happening But then again I haven't been to the northern areas since I was 16.
