(+9:00) Suleiman and I have such a great friendship. We have so many common interests and enjoy teaching each other new things. Suleiman arrived to Japan within minutes of my arrival and we got the chance to get to know each other on the bus to the marine camp. From then on, our friendship grew astronomically. It was so nice to hear from him today and catch up with what’s going on in Pakistan. We discussed school, preparing for exams and upcoming BC meetings. Suleiman is going to pass along the Common Activity and the Action Plan to the other BC Pakistan members at a meeting this week. I happened to be in an Uber as we were talking, which led to us talking about how Uber operates in Pakistan. They had a program that was similar to Uber that was growing rapidly. One day Uber just came in and bought them out. We were both amazed by what an abundance of money can do. So basically, we checked up on each other, discussed BC plans and had some small talk. So AMAZING! We plan to keep each other updated and to talk soon!
