rest weekend

After 1 month of intense language learning, we decided to come down from the hills and have a weekend away in Islamabad. We were able to stay at a great guest house for the night.

Here is what this place has to offer:
1. Decent internet! I was able to download quite a few podcasts to get me through the next month.
2. TV
3. 10 minute walk over to Pizza Hut and an amazing book store
4. Lots of Westerners so you fit in as just another white person in the crowd

Here is what I would like more of:
1. More uninterrupted electricity (power would often be on for about 1-2 hours at a time then off for a few)
2. Middle Eastern Restaurant with some good hummus
3. Movie theater to see a new flick

Now we are ready to go back and face another month of learning.
