| The
land of Pakistan is very hilly. The Khyber Pass is mostly all hills and
mountains. The highest mountain in the world is Kilimanjaro, also known
as K2. Islamabad is flat though.
In
the city, the streets are very dirty with garbage on the sidewalks. There
are a lot of boonie dogs which are on the streets. People don't like
dogs because they believe they are dirty.
There
are various religions practiced in Pakistan. Our housekeeper was
Christian and our gardener and guards were Muslim.
We
had a very large 6 bedroom house made of concrete with marble floors.
All houses have small gardens and are surrounded by walls. Wealthier
people hired guards to protect their homes; some were even armed with machine
guns. The poor people lived in houses made of mud and straw just
like in ancient times. They would make patties of water buffalo droppings
and straw, throw them on the outside walls until they dried, then used
them to burn as fuel for their cooking fires.
The
roads are narrow between houses. In Pakistan people drive on the left side
of the road.
The
flag is green with a white star and moon in the middle. The flag also has
a white border. |
