Asallam Elaicum, I salute you in God's name, this was about all we Ameri- can Pakistanis knew of the Urdu tongue, the chief language of Pakistan, when we left New York to embark upon our AFS adventure. We arrived at Karachi, the capital of Pakistan, after an exciting plane trip from Amsterdam, with stop offs at Geneva, Rome, and Cairo, and met our summer families at the airport. Our first introductions to Pakistani hospitality were our warm welcomes, and the lovely garlands of flowers our families gave us. Thereafter we spent a truly enchanted summer, seeing and doing what we had never dreamed of before. We shopped at bazaars, were waited upon by servants, rode camels, swam in the Arabian Sea. Dressed in the native dress we went to parties, and throughout the summer we lived with and loved our families, and practiced Urdu. Near the end of the summer we took a trip North to Lahore, the cultural capital of Pakistan, and to Murree, a village in the foothills of the Himalaya Mountains. At the end of the summer we returned to the States, vowing to go back someday to visit our second homes. We called sad good-byes to our families, Coodahafis,,' Coodahafisf'
