Back to the land of the pure

Kirsistan is back in Pakistan.

After spending last academic year in Karachi teaching English, I went home to Finland to spend the summer there and I just arrived back to Pakistan a week ago. So you are lucky and I will keep on posting about my experiences in this controversial and often misunderstood country that is portrayed in a negative light in the western media.

This time more personal reasons have pulled me back to Pakistan as I have met someone special with whom I will spend the rest of my life, InshaAllah (if God is willing). I will, therefore, be forever connected to Pakistan and will keep on coming back for the rest of my life. I might have been giving respect in my earlier posts to the awesome, generous and hospital people of Pakistan and not in vain at all. The people are the reason I fell in love with Pakistan and why I love it here. Whatever you might read in the news is only done by a tiny minority and does in no way reflect the thinking of the majority. I am proud to have some awesome bunch of Pakistanis as my friends. There are not enough words to describe how lucky I am to have met them and to have them as my friends. It is a priviledge. A special shout-out goes to my Pakistani friends in Finland without whom I don't think I would ever have had the courage to come to Pakistan in the first place.

I will continue sharing my experiences here and even plan to travel around and see some new places in order to understand this country better. Fingers crossed there'll be more videos too. ;)

Stay tuned for more news from Pakistan.
Kirsistan vol. 2 is about to begin - bigger, better and bolder this time.
