It has now been a week since am in Karachi. I have to say that i had a really bad start. It started all the way from Mauritius to Karachi. First my flight was postponed for the next day and i had to stay in a hotel away from ma family. Then both my flights got delayed by more than one hour. The worst was when i reached Karachi airport. There were hundreds of people waiting to get their passport checked and visa approved. It took me more than 3 hours to get that done! Thank God the boys waited 🙂
The first few days were quite “weird”. I don’t know if it was some kind of cultural shock but the idea of riots and firing really freaked me out. I started missing my family and friends really badly and i can say i cried a lot and complained a lot as well. I feel bad for judging the place too quickly.
Now that’s it’s been a week, my mindset about Khi has changed completely. Though it freaks me out when i spend too much time in the apartment. I have finally been able to find a place for myself. I’m falling in love with the place and the people around me are real sweethearts.
One thing which really strikes me here is that there is food everywhere and you can order anytime! I feel like feeding myself with subway, hot and spicy and milanos all the time! Yummy!!! N thanks to a very special friend, i’ve been able to enjoy the bestest breakfast ever at Bread People, an exquisite place where you get all goodies and really good ice cream at Hot Spot! So if you think there’s nothing to do in Karachi, think about food!!! ^^
Now that i feel all settled, i can’t wait to start my campaigns in schools. I feel at home 🙂 I am happy to be in Pakistan and am proud to say i’m karachi-ed ^^
