Hi

I don't want to spoil your fun as i am a Pakistani and all these questions are piece of cake for me. I am studying here in Finland and have some good Lithuanian friends, though most infact all of them have returned back to Lithuania since their exchange period is over.

I have joined AIESEC here in Tampere, Finland. Its great to see that you are enjoying your time in Karachi. I have just found your blog and read all the entries, your VISA story at COPENHAGEN was interesting and scary, you are one lucky dude that the embassy has entertained you in matter of hours and TURKISH airline is so generous above all.

I hope you will enjoy your stay in Pakistan and will take some good memories with you.

Best of Luck

-ALI

9. va cia kaip palyginsi, man asmeniskai atrodo, kad false, nes man ju maistas nera astrus. Sako, kad is to regiono, sri lankos maistas yra astriausias, o man kiek bandziau jis buvo kaip tik!
10. false... bet tas atsakymas su Allah, imponuoja man atsizvegiant i ju mastyma

Thank you for your contribution! Was really interesting to read your answers. Some of them made me smile (it only proves that I was right about your lack of awareness about this country).

I know that I'm late with the answers, but somehow I can not manage my time properly (getting into pakistani culture). By the end of this week I promise you will find my answers : )
Who is going to be winner?

Katerina said...

Alright. Lets take this challenge.
Answers do not pretend to be right though, OK?

This is "My" Pakistan

1 - a. not sure, but seems so. people like to sing in this country, its the main attribute of almost every wedding

2 - b. false. even if i didn't meet any sales women myself, i suppose its not true :)

3 - b & c - equally :-)

4 - b. even if its might be difficult to believe in this

5 - starting from 4 days and then - according to budget :)

6 - ceremony - yes, but actually finding a wife/husband - not necessarily

7 - Toyota i guess, however Suzuki and Honda (which was missed in the list!!!) are also the candidates :)

8 - false, but sadly not-educated people can be

9 - true. but sweets are soo tasty!!!

10 - b (InshAllah)

11 - b. ? will be good to know :)

12 - yeah, but just 10% use it

13 - b, hahaha! yet, i saw a man sleeping on his friend's knees and was called friendship, so men are good friends here

14 - d on paper, but in reality - 2: summer and cold summer :)

15 - a, if he has support of e

16 - b

17 - d, eeeeasy :)

18 - 1430? hahaha, no idea!
