Home away from home

I think your doing a great job with your website. It gives us foreign Pakistani’s a home away from home. I wanted to make people aware of our lifestyles here away from home. Often people in Pakistan think that England (an other foreign countries equally) are such great cities and strive to come away and join this greatness. In reality, however, this is not the case. We are outcasts within the British society and will never really be apart of their community. People in Pakistan do not really appreciate what they have. To be apart of the community, to share the same values and beliefs is of extreme importance, which they are able to do, unlike us Foreign Pakistani’s who don’t have the fame and fortune which is often portrayed to Pakistani people. They should recognize this aim to utilise their skills and abilities in making Pakistan itself into a prosperous city, rather than wasting it on chasing after a dream that won’t materialize.

I’m sure that most foreign Pakistani’s will agree with me.
