In Pakistan the steering is on the right side of the car and they drive on the left side of the road. That is exactly the opposite of the US. It takes some time to get used to as a rider...I cannot image how complicated it is as a driver. And, the drivers and the roads take a bit of getting used to also...
Day2 began at 3am...sigh...not unexpected, but not what I had hoped for after taking a sleeping pill at 10pm. Oh, well.....It is now about 7pm and I am exhausted and hopeful of better sleep tonight...
My meetings at the HEC, Pakistan-NIH, Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences and with PTCL (the network carrier) all seemed to go well. People understand that with this new high performance connection they can do things faster. But, it is hard to get them to think about doing totally new things. Of course, that is a problem in general.
Tomorrow will be another long day (7am departure...who knows exactly when I will return). But, I sense that yesterday was a success and am hopeful about tomorrow. At least I will get to see a bit of northern Pakistan as we are going to Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology (GIKI) tomorrow. Hence the 7am departure.
Now...maybe a bit to eat....then certainly to bed....

Sounds very stimulating--no wonder you can't sleep! Use your usual careful, considered manner, and your message will get through.
Sleep well...learn lots!
