I'm the same way dude. I've visited Pakistan twice in my life (once when I was 4, so I don't really remember much, and then when I was 18). I really didn't enjoy it at all. The big thing was that even though I can understand most spoken Urdu, I can't speak it at all, so it's hard to really communicate with my relatives over there.

My family on my mom's side is from Lahore (2nd biggest city in Pakistan), so they all speak perfect English and it's easy to communicate with them.

But my dad's side of the family is from a small village in Northern Pakistan. Not only does my dad's mom not speak English, she doesn't even speak Urdu (although she can understand it). She only speaks Punjabi (I can't speak, or understand, Punjabi at all), so it was really awkward the whole time since we couldn't communicate with each other at all.

Hey, gawnwalla, we've been at the same school for 2 years, but I still haven't seen you in 6 years.
