Moving back to Pakistan from the US :}

Re: Moving back to Pakistan from the US :}

I don’t know if that’s necessarily true. There was a trend a few years back where I live where some of the younger couples were moving back to Pak from the US. They were okay for a year or so, but eventually couldn’t handle it and moved back. There were a multitude of issues, but they were all pretty well-off. They just couldn’t adjust to the lifestyle and the environment. I think it may depend more on how you were raised here, though. From what I gather from their stories, they just weren’t able to cope with the security issues and the general gossipy environment. They also were thrown into a situation where htey had to interact with more family members than they ever had to before and I think the family dynamics were kind of overwhelming for them.

I’m not trying to deter you but I think people don’t realize how different the lifestyle really is. Like my dad always says, you can have the biggest house and nicest car there but you still have to deal with the general uneducated public, drive on those same broken down streets with trash everywhere, and deal with load-shedding and all the other problems that come with Pakistan.
