I think the gist of the article is that you do miss out on some of the cultural things while living abroad. The extended family is one thing** my mother really misses**, she gets slightly bummed out whenever she hears about the family coming back from some wedding, or vacationing together. As I always tell her, if the family where here, she would probably miss Pakistan a lot less.

On the other hand, I don’t think the lack of basic necessities should be romanticized. Personally, I think the political situation has, or is close to reaching a turning point. Once that happens, a country with almost 200 million people, a workforce that speaks English (at least the literate portion of the population), and plenty of natural resources, is going to undergo a tremendous economic boom. Hopefully things are close to turning around. It’s just the damn politicians.

So it’s not something you miss. So you don’t miss out on anything. See.

And having an extended family isn’t all awesome for everyone. I for one could do without all the drama and two-facedness.
