My life chapter 1

I came across some old pictures from living in PK. These were all taken in 2005, I can't believe I never had these uploaded before now. they are a great photo tour of just a part of my life over in PK. of course, it's just a glimpse.


You'll still run into people herding goats (sometimes ox) through the town. This was a group of children herding their goats down the street that runs outside our neighborhood. They stop to eat the grass and such on the side of the road (the goats, not the children)

I have sooo many pictures of random children. Adults and children alike get excited when they see the "gori" with the camera. I love to take their pictures!!!

This was just funny to me. Donkey carts are still WIDELY used...for selling produce, moving from house to house...even construction (they move rock and stuff from point a to point b).




This is from Liberty Market....one of the most popular places to go shop for traditional "suits". You get them in three pieces (shirt, pants, shawl) and then get them stitched. This place is huge and it's just tiny isle after tiny isle of little shops and hallways with fabric.

This is the tailor we use most. (I've never mastered how to say his name) He's finally figured out how to make my suits, cause I don't like them tight-he's cool, but you have to threaten his life to get your stuff on time...typical Asian.

This is his shop. He's on the bottom, taking care of the customers..while the tailors are up top sewing. He does certain suits....for instance he did my engagement suit. He's a nice man...very cool.




Usama buying....who knows. I can't even remember where we were, but he's freshly shaven and wearing sunglasses so we must have been out and about from early evening. He's probably buying cigarettes judging by the stand he's at.



Although you can buy your produce at the market (I like here), it's a lot cheaper to go into the "market" and buy them from the vendors. You have to pretend to know what costs what what or some will try to rip you off, but most are pretty cool.


Again, you can buy your meat in the market...but we (well, Tehara or Usama cause I'm sure not) can go to the stand and get it that way. The chickens are killed on sight....One reason I'm sure in the hell not going to get the meat!
