Well one aims to please

Well July could be mangos I'm thinkin

I thought that was firefighters?

Oh please explore away. Although I dont think theres more than 50. Only post moths in June.

Ain't no way this is my legacy 😭

3rd? You dont wanna go through my post history

It's the June special.

YOU CANT STOP ME

Well I lobe Pakistan the land. It truly feels like home. Wherever I go I feel like this is MINE.

Also just an incredible place geographically, from the worlds highest peaks and plains (deosai and k2) to the worlds largest salt mines (above land) called Kheora, discovered by Alexander the great. Deserts and snow and snowing deserts. Bays and harbours, the sea and one of the biggest rivers.

And incredible wildlife with very special flora and fauna. Literally every kind of geography you could imagine we got.

The indus also was home to the oldest civilisation known, the indus valley. The mughal history I love too, then came the British (sigh).

The government here is certain, its not like the state is weak. But they dont have as far reaching control as a lot of developed countries do. So villages and smaller cities are free from the government in many ways.

Agriculturally incredible, very fertile soil with the Indus bringing nutrient dense soil from the Himalayas.

So many incredible and old languages still exist too. Languages not spoken outside a single village for example.

For Qatar, its a place with a lot of good people. Some of the best people I've met in my life, very multicultural as well. I've lived in a building where every apartment had a family with a different nationality.

Ignoring the few locals who generally target the working class. The public here is very kindly organised. I like the respectful conservative way people exist in public here.

I like the fact that you can come here and just settle in with so many different nationalities or find a subgroup of your own people.

I do love some incredible architecture here too. Some great museums etc have been built. There is a sense of luxury to it all. I like how small the country is (although its grown I'm recent years) you can get to either end in like 40 mins.

In both nations I love the food, in Qatar you can discover a lot of non Arab food too with how multicultural it is.

Also Qatar has without a shadow of a doubt the best KFC/ fried chicken in the world and I'm not even exaggerating.

Last I remember she was imprisoned

Thanks

The social media presence of Pakistani folk is odd. Facebook ofcourse has the worst of the worst. But even reddit people were equally terrible, albeit younger cunts.

Yeah both of these are generally right. The hate Pakistan has for women is unprecedented.

I meant my friends

Mine does

That was the case pre cult too

Qatar, yep.

Pakistan, oh I'd say pretty extremist. Interesting is certainly one word to use for the culture.

Pakistan honestly hates itself out of hate for India. And I mean doesn't care about history pre 1947 since that would be India back then. Also desperate to paint Pakistan as an Arab nation. Despite next to no connection or knowledge of the Arab world, or the language.

Culturally very similar to India but desperately trying not to.

Yeah Pakistan defines itself in large part by its hate for India. Dont see any improvements either in the next decade or two anyways. Don't really care about space exploration honestly.

Yes family is everything here. Not always in a good way.

Qatar you're mostly right about too. Don't think people from other abrahamic religions would agree with the intensity of the average Muslim. Most Christian societies at this point are not as intense in my eys anyways. But I do think a lot of morality is shared bw them.

Good to read. Thanks

Well education is terrible here. For the lower classes, people in villages etc, the hope is to be able to work for themselves primarily. If they study to a highschool level (and that education is TERRIBLE), literally just factually incorrect stuff is being taught but anyways, those people may look for some government job later.

The best chance for success is moving to a city and going to a university, normally too expensive for people. For the few who do it can help the family somewhat.

The military also has a hold in people, many wanna join the military.

The cities house the middle-class, most hope to leave Pakistan for a better future. Noone expects a good life in Pakistan.

The young v old issue may be political, imran khan the former pm had a largely young fanbase while other political figures have older fan bases. Other than that, there isn't much of a cultural shift bw generations. In the upper middle class circles, theres a good bit of westernisation which is the other divide. But that is like 5% of the population at most.

Overall, the youth has no hope for this nation. Dont expect to have a safe future here. Leaving Pakistan to work as a guard or driver etc and living in terrible living quarters is better for people than staying here in many cases.
