I grew up in US as well. I was born in Pakistan. My parents always gave us lectures about the purity of Pakistan and till this day believe all that rubbish because that was the culture they grew up in.
On my recent visit to pakistan after 5 years I just see that accesibility to the opposite sex has increased because of SMS and internet. Everyone has a call phone. Even the jamadars have cell phones. Your cell phone and who you talk to and communicate with becomes YOUR PRIVATE business.
You will not see men and women kissing or holding hands in public but you will also see many younger kids guy and girl in coffee shops and no one looks twice. You also see a handful of odd couples like a 50 year women with 20 year old guys in coffee houses at night sitting in each other laps. WEIRD!!
I think in our parent's good old days - people were afraid - everything would be behind closed doors because someone would say something but now it's becoming acceptable where people might give you a glance but won't say something like what are you doing?
That is the only change I noticed.
