My Home Town



Hyderabad city map
 

Hyderabad is the fourth largest city in Pakistan and the second largest city of Sindh (province). Hyderabad is a small city but has many things that people love. There are historical places which people come from other countries and visit. In Pakistan every city has its own famous thing and in my city the most popular thing is embroideries and bangles. Everyone loves to buy embroidered textile.

Cake

Hyderabad is known as a city of winds in the night time. It's famous for cool breezes. The season in my city is mostly summer, the temperature remains 80 to 95 F for nine months and the rest three months is winter. Another famous thing in Hyderabad is cake which is called “Bombay bakery cake”. People come from very distant places to have it and they also buy these cakes for their loved one. This is one thing that I really crave for every time I go to Hyderabad I always have the cake and the flavor I like most is chocolate because chocolate cake is the most famous cake of “Bombay bakery”.



The Sindh Museum Portraits

I was born in Hyderabad and I spent half of my life there. I have lots of unforgettable memories which I will never forget. Although there are so many places in Hyderabad that I love, one place which I love the most in Hyderabad is “The Sindh Museum”. It has very interesting collection of depiction of the traditional and tribal life of Sindh. These portraits are worth seeing.



River Indus

One of the longest rivers in Pakistan is called “River Indus”. This river crosses Hyderabad and at sunset I like to go and spend my time on the river bank with my friends. It refreshes my soul. One interesting thing about Hyderabad is that it has a bazaar called "Shahi Bazaar”. It is known to be “Asia's Longest Bazaar”. I used to go there for shopping and it takes a whole day to just visit that bazaar.



Hyderabad Train Station

Although I have a car, I also like traveling on the train and Hyderabad Railways is a major junction of Pakistan railways and it connects all the major cities with Hyderabad through its railway system. Whenever I take the rail I get to enjoy the beautiful sceneries on my way. I always miss that rail journey which I did with my friends.

The education system in Hyderabad is quite extensive. There are big universities in Hyderabad, numerous colleges and schools. I did my schooling in Hyderabad from a private school to tenth grade. The friends I made in school are still in contact with me, oftentimes we talk about school life and remember those golden days and laugh for several hours together.

My hometown is very far from where I am now but the memories of it are always with me.

Trip To Japan



Japan map

In 2010 my dad and I visited Japan because my dad wanted to buy a car. In Japan I went to Tokyo which was a beautiful place. When I went there I felt Japan is a different country because it is very difficult to analyze another culture without some knowledge. Japan has its own culture and when I went there I got to know about the culture. Japan is a culture where human relationships are important and they also play major influence with colors which seemed interesting to me.

In Japan people are very friendly and helpful which I liked the most. When I was there I had a little difficulty to speak and understand because mostly Japanese people don't know English. Then after two days I met my dad's friend who lived in Japan so he knew Japanese so then I didn't have any problem to talk. After meeting them I enjoyed and got to know about some other things like their traditional dresses and festivals. In their traditional festival they were many dragons and they beat the drums. Which i liked the festival the most was the Flower Festival, it was very nice specially “The Bloom of Cherry Blossom”.



Cherry Bloosom

In Japan “The Bloom of Cherry Blossom” festival is known as “Hanami”. During the season of this festival people like to party with friends and family. I heard that Cherry blossom make people marry. The place is so very beautiful and romantic that I fell in love with it. At night, viewing spots are crowded and people enjoy the atmosphere.
 


Toyota Wish

My main reason to visit Japan was to buy a car because in Pakistan many people import there car from Japan. He bought a car and it wasn’t cheap but it was better than the prize in Pakistan. In Japan there are many varieties of cars in a good condition with a reasonable prize. When my dad was buying the car I got to know a lot of different cars and its function. After seeing many cars, my dad found the car which he was looking for and i liked it. The name of the car is “Toyota Wish” in black (fully loaded). My dad bought it and then we shipped to Pakistan. Japan isn’t expensive for buying cars but living style and food in Japan is an expensive.

When I return to my country I realized that every country has its own way of living. My experience going to Japan was wonderful and I miss Japan but one day when I will have a chance to go to the other country i will defiantly go to Japan.
