Did you guys know there are some places in Pakistan where they still don't have a toilet system?
I can't even remember the name of the village any more, but I went there on a wedding when I was 8 or something. It was my grand father's teacher's daughter's wedding (nana abu forced us to go!). I swear I have NEVER seen a place so historic!
I refer to my mother as "mama" and I was going around the house looking for her, shouting out "mama, mama" when this young woman comes up to me and says "Tera mama v naal aya ae?" ... for those who don't understand, mama in punjabi means uncle (mom's brother!)
And they had no knives!!! duuuude!! They used sharpened stones to cut their veggies etc.! They had no toilet! There was a small little place dedicated to "nature's calls", separated only by a curtain. No there wasn't even a hole in the ground!! You just sat there and "did it" and every 3 hours or so, a kaam waali would come and collect the "stuff" and clean up the place. YUCKKKK!!!
And they thought we were super white (which we're not) and they won't stop asking mama what cream she uses on her face!! Mom told 'em she doesn't have time for these things with the 5 of us wrecking her mind all day long! lol... but even after the wedding, they used to write letters (note: letters not emails or anything... and I don't think the letters were written with a biro!) asking her about the miracle cream!
I'm not bi***ing about them ppl, even to this day I am so shocked by that place. What we refer to as the stone age (ended long time ago), still exists in Pakistan.
