Re: Cultural Differences
^ I'm used to clean rooms, privacy, and no screaming brats throwing temper tantrums all over the place, and being able to run to the nearest Rite Aid to buy toilet paper, why should I compromise on that? When I was in pak, my mom and I stayed with my dad in our house for hte first time. We spent pretty much the entire day at my grandmother's house, from 9 AM to 11 PM, (we spent nights there during the weddings) and only spent slept in our house where we had our own rooms and could relax and enjoy the quietness. It's not about poor or rich, it's hwat ur used to and comfortable with.
It's just been the three of us (my mom, dad and me) for so long now, there's no relatives nearby who come over every day, so I'm used to it. I don't know how I could cope if I wasn't able to enjoy a few hours alone. Yeah it gets lonely sometimes, but taht's why I'd like to live in Pak for a while. That way, we have our privacy but we have all our relatives nearby if we ever need anything :)
