Today I attended the plenary meeting of Japanese Embassy and JPF held at the Japanese Embassy. The meeting was lead by Mr. Takamatsu, the secretary-general of JPF, gathering the NGOs affiliated with JPF (SCJ, JEN, JCCP, SVA, NICCO). Luckily, I got seated right in front of Mr.Nobuaki Tanaka, the ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, and felt a little regret for my everyday outfitsc However, I gave a report accurately in a sociable atmosphere.

My image of Pakistan has been totally changed. Abstractive though, the country is a truly kind-hearted country, I think. Of course, it is not possible to know it wholly in such a time of emergency when everything must be very extraordinary for the people here. Here's the slightest example: A few days ago, I went to buy cigarettes in town. At the cigarette shop, the shopkeeper gave me an extra pack, saying "You are my friend, boy". However, taxi drivers tend to raise prices grossly and Mr. Hayashida always blamed me for paying their asking prices without negotiationcin fact, she is so good at this as the taxi drivers cannot resist her charm!

I have got used to the pace of life here. I do handshake and hug anytime I meet someone. Pakistan people very often do some kind of physical contact. I do Ramadan fast when I am with the local staff and I enjoy it -it becomes fun when you get used to it. Especially,the meal after the fast around 5:30pm is really nice. But I learned the thirst of throat is no way bearable.
