Welcome to the land of... Pakola?
Hey everyone!
its been a few days but it is true! I HAVE LANDED in PAKISTAN
It has been a long trip and tiring trip, but when I arrived at the crack of dawn into Karachi Airport, being tricked by the LC to thinking I got ditched and then getting floral reefs being thrown around my head!
2 hours after landing, I got to the appartment, changed and went on a marketing call with a board of advisors who wants to sign like 5-6 internships! Hows that for productivity? AFter that I met most of the members, got a new cell number (msg me for it) and then went to eat Masala, was excellent, but NOT near spicy enough!
First impressions of Karachi? Hot and crowded. Some scenes remind me of Nairobi, with people lining the streets, cars driving on the wrong side of the road (british system) and so HOT. Honestly, AC is my greatest friend.
Ive adopted the nicknames of Gora (white guy) and Casper (figure that one out)
Puneet is here as well! PNUT MAMU as they call him (Uncle Pnut)
Its been great seeing a familiar face aswell - BROTHER, ITS BEEN SO LOONNG! Aapke Jaan will go on...
Besides having an animated time with all the members. planning various meetings and dodging the heat, ive already found a great drink that is hugely popular here - Pakola. So much SUGAR. I'll be im trouble, haha...
More deep reflections later on, right now I need to get back to work... yes Saturday is a work day ;)

Will follow up on your story, keep the posts going, good luck :)
keep us updated :)
please take care of pnut and make sure they don't use him to make peanut butter
thank you from brazil,
Rita.
It seems you are starting a great journey Kurt, good luck and keep us updated :)
Hey Kurt,
Figured that you'd be in Pakistan by now and came to check up on you.
Not sure what it is, but all the photos of you in your last three posts look somewhat... superimposed. You're actually in Europe and not just sequestered away in backwater New Jersey with an ol' standby copy of Photoshop? ;)
The great media engine seems to think there's trouble brewing in Pakistan right now (some rather disconcerting news stories popped up a day after you left), so be careful.
Take care, Casper. Or should it be NeoKasper?

P.S.
Get 'blogger.com' to fix their damned servlet. This damned thing is throwing access and DoS exceptions faster than I can type.
Sorry 'bout the double-post.

VoR - dont be concerned, it appears that they just like to stare and not do anything, ill be fine :) soon ill be brown skinned... trust there are plans of me jumping in the Indus River...
haha
Oh no-no, we should search no more. I think you have a new name now.
That's what you were missing all along, Casper.
