Pakistan

Gchat convo with Mom:

brittneydeannjohnson: I'm really bummed I prob won't get to go to Pakistan.
 

I want to go so badly.

 

Mom: Why won't you?

 

brittneydeannjohnson: They aren't giving visas to Americans.

No American tourist visas have been approved in the last 6 weeks.

 

Mom: Why?

 

brittneydeannjohnson: Pakistan is in a state of war (ok - this is not true - but there is a huge civil movement going on, bombs, and basic destruction. This just seemed like the easiest way to explain the reason)

Mom: Hopefully things will change before December!!!!!!

 

brittneydeannjohnson: I know... I'm praying my heart out.

 

I will be so sad if I can't go. I've been so excited about this for so long

 

Mom: Why would that make them block US citizens? Are they afraid they will join the war?

 

brittneydeannjohnson: They are afraid they will die.
