An unforgettable trip – Pakistan
I had an experience and freshest memory to tell for my journey, in Pakistan.
It just happened in this month.
I went there with my colleague because our company had
an exhibition that took place in Karachi Pakistan.
I was very nervous for this business trip.
Because it was not only our company first time to attend overseas
show but also myself 's first time to arrange and participate in a show.
I was so afraid to screw up it.
Pakistan is a place you still can see donkey and horse-drawn carts on roads.
After we arrived, we rode on a hotel pick up car. On the way to the hotel.
we saw very luxurious "buses"!
Yes, they were buses not sedans.
The buses were decorated with silverworks (maybe just stainless steel),
lots of small bells and painted with flowers, birds, people on the outside
of buses.
However, it's kind of culture in southern of Pakistan.
I can just say, it is kind of culture shock to me.
In the end of our stay, something happened that I can never forget.
First, my experienced friends who has warned me how terrible hygienic
condition of Pakistan before we departure.
And then it really happened, I suffered vomiting and diarrhea at least
5 times in one night.
I felt dying and I thought I may stay in Pakistan forever!
Second, we went to visit customers after the show.
We had to apply for the permission at the police department before we could go
because it just occurred Chinese gunshot cases by Pakistani in several
months ago in that area.
3 innocent Chinese were killed without any reason.
The police department very concerned and cared about foreigners who
wanted to go there.
They sent more than 6 police in two cars in front and behind our cars to escort us.
Even when we were in customer's factory they still followed.
We made a joke that we were the prisoners taken to jail.
Anyway, we came back safely.
I appreciated this trip, I learned lots from the experience and it was the milestone
to me even has such much matters happened.
