Subject: Memories of Pakistan

What do you remember about Pakistan, what were the good things about Pakistan that you remember? And do you go back to Pakistan often?

I go back every year, to see my relatives. I stay there for about two months a year.

Did you do that when you first came?

No, no, no. When I came here, after 15 years I went back.

Why did you go back after so long?

At that time my wage was not very good, I couldn't afford to go. That's why I never went before.

Do you enjoy going back to see your family?

Oh, yes.

Which do you prefer; do you prefer England or Pakistan?

I prefer here because my children are here, I couldn't leave them alone. So me and my wife go to Pakistan, just for a change.

So are all your children living in England?

Yeah.
