Things are going great here in Pakistan. I'm having a lot of fun and am meeting so many interesting people. I feel like I'm starting to understand the differences and accept them between a lot of the people I've met (i'm sorry I couldn't do that right away, guess it's just a learning thing). I've already had to say goodbye to one really sweet person as she's on her way home to Australia (if you recall Jazz is on her winter break...weird hehe). She introduced me to the most amazing place for dessert ever, beats ben and jerry's ice cream by far!
This is ´the girls´except Reeha at the amazing place that is known as ´Hot Spot´ mmmmmmm sooo good!
So have recently heard that Andrew (AIESEC UK) is going to be doing a year long internship here in Pakistan. I think he´s going to have so much fun. It is so much different here, what a learning experience to come and live here for a year!
I think it´s interesting how many people know each other. This may be a pretty big city but word seems to get around. I think because the people I spend a lot of time with are of the wealthier classes here they kind of form a small community. So some of them have to be careful with what they do because everywhere they go there´s someone they know and word will get back to their friends or family about what they have been doing. It´s like suburban America or being back home in Denmark where you can go to the local barber (specifically the one in Guderup), when my grandfather goes he always comes back with all the town gossip. Hehe gossip is such a driver! We all secretly love it even if we say we don´t. AIESEC is the same way, so much gossip about everyone! Also back in Edinburgh. It's always kind of funny when gossip gets back to you about yourself and you're like "huh, I don't remember doing/saying that" or "what? i'm pregnant with an alien?" yeah gossip is fun though sometimes a wee bit depressing. It certainly exists everywhere; I'm sure it's in all cultures and societies!
