This Guy Travels Back to the Middle East: Pakistan Part II

By Thomas Schmitt

While visiting Pakistan, perhaps as a measure to counteract the propensity of bad press that the American media gives this country, I went out of my way to see and capture the people and places that were out of the way. No matter where I went, I was warmly greeted and made to feel honored and at home by these wonderful, friendly and giving people.

Here’s one of my favorite photos of a simple country farm home in rural Pakistan where<br /> the citizens lead a simple, happy, productive farming life without all the modern excesses of our western cultural advances.

In rural Pakistan, some are lucky to have motorized transportation. In this case, three women in the back of a three-wheeled converted motorbike.

While donkey cart transportation in rural Pakistan is common, this poor donkey seemed to be pulling more than his fair share of the workload.

Although the political climate remains gloomy between the USA and Pakistan, such that I may not get another chance to travel there for my work, I’ve kept in touch with many of the friends I made during my visit, and look forward to returning when I get the chance.
