Differences Between the United States and Pakistan

I [..] originally belong to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, a country located in South Asia comprising the second largest Muslim population of the world after Indonesia. I had been living in the largest city of Pakistan, Karachi, for the past thirteen years until my dad, who's a U.S. citizen now, decided to call me over for a couple of years. I never bothered to offer my father's invitation a second thought and fled to the states like a dog chasing a bone.

The first impression i received after stepping my feet on to the American land was of heaven in disguise. The climate, the atmosphere, the surroundings, the lush greenery -evrything had a particular and a unique aura. Even though the people i had to live with then, were not really how i'd have wanted them to be, i could still feel my heart pacing with joy and glee.

Everything and evryone around me seemed to have a distinctive quality and my beady eyes refused to let go of any sight without being fully observed. The foremost thing that i felt was diffucult to digest was the cleanliness about; Although cleanliness is half of our Islamic faith and holds a great significance, my Pakistani fellows still tend to litter around which is why majority of the areas and roads in Pakistan are more occupied with garbage instead of flora and greenness. I liked the fact that the people who were caught littering had to pay fines which helped to maintain discipline and i'd have liked the Pakistani auhtorities to imply the same rule as well.

Enrollment in the last year of middle school was another factor through which i learned a whole lot.I remember i had to appear for a language test before my addimission took place and i did really well at it but i was still placed in the second ...

... middle of paper ...

...aught me so much that i returned back very smart. I started observing that Pakistanis identify the fellow Pakistanis on the basis of the cars they possess, the brands they wear and the schools they sends their kids to. People rarely cared about clothings in America but people here give you weird stares if you wear something worn out.

Enrollment in a school after coming back also got diffucult because i almost flunked the admission test as i had started stinking at Urdu and also the studies here were more advanced than what i used to study in AMerica. i was used to multiple choice questions but here i had to rote-learn, cram and write lengthy answers to every question which i really was not used to. I also became conscious of the fact that i could no more ride bikes on the raods as i was girl and i had to keep my head covered all the time which i never liked.
