I came to Islamabad last Friday. Because it was my third time to Pakistan, I didn’t have any special feeling on it. I went to Islamabad by Thai Airways. I just remembered the first time I went to a foreign country and I was excited about everything. Like most people did, I even took a lot of pictures of the wing of airplane. Now I lost my interest completely. Even though Thai Airways air hostesses were pretty, I didn’t think it was a big deal. I only thought of them when I needed water.

    The Bangkok airport was no doubt the biggest in Asia. When I waited in the waiting room, I found nearly all people were from Pakistan. No foreigners went to Pakistan except me. I even found there were many empty seats on the plane.

    When I arrived at Islamabad Airport, Asif received me with his son, a cute little boy. On the road to his company, he asked me for food. I bought food last time and he still remembered the wonderful favor. The little boy just stared at me curiously probably he never met a foreigner before. By the way, most men around him were with heavy beard and he must be curious why I had only light beard. Actually I thought my beard wasn’t thin in China.

    The weather was really hot. In order to save money, I stayed at his company instead of hotel.

    The city was always out of electricity. Last night I stayed awake all the time. Because the weather was incredibly hot and there were so many mosquitoes. By the way, there was no water. I stayed awake without taking a shower for the whole night. I really wanted to beat someone to release my hatred.

    I lived upstairs. When I went down to the first floor, I found the office servant was living was cool. I didn’t understand why his office had power while my room was out of power. Holy Maria. Finally I felt myself just a dumpling in a steam box. I decided to go outside. Though there were so many mosquitoes, at least the air outside was cooler than the room. Though it was only five o’clock, there was a sunrise. The firstborn Sun in the morning was like a fireball to heat people.

    What a place this is!! What a company I’m working for. What a poor person I am!
