What do you do on an average day? I'm just curious how people from Pakistan are the same/ and different from how I live, and how my family lives. I live in a Small town in Oregon, USA.
Do most people go to church?
How big is your family?
What is your jobs?
Do you drive cars, or ride a bus, train?
How do you think your life is similar and different from someone like in the USA?
I've never met or talked with anyone from Pakistan so I'm very curious? Smile

I guess no one wants to say @Lyn..
I have a Pakistani friend ...but she's been here since she was 2 and is a lawyer...so very Americanized.

Not all Pakistani people are like that Americanized, we are simple people we live our own lives.We are tied up to our tradition, our religion, our national values. just like other nations.
I'm personally working on computers, i've been to many countries. And most of us use bicycle Smile at the same time bus.

I hope all you people see Pakistan one day Smile We'll warmly welcome.

Ohh.. thanks for replying greatpoems! May I ask you what religion you follow? And what do you eat over there? Do you dine out alot, or cook at home? If so, what's the pakistan cuisine like? Do you enjoy eating food from other countries? I would love to go to Pakistan! And I really want to visit Jerusalem some day. I'm just afraid nobody would understand me Razz I should learn some of the language a bit I think before I venture off over there.

You're welcome Lyn. I personally am a muslim, Pakistan's religion is Islam beside having a lot of Christians, Hindus.

We generally eat at home, as long as we have wives Smile unlike western countries in east women are head of our cookers at homes. I'd suggest you kebab types and halwa, for drink sherbet and ganaay ka ras. You'll also find a lot of kind of breads in our country. I tried Italian kitchen when i was in Italy, it was only when i was abroad there isnt too much places from other countries to eat at in Pakistan, Karachi and Islamabad are two of the cities you can find western foods, but in every city you can find Chinese restaurants Smile

I've no doubt you'll love this country if you visit one day!
