他们本可以选择居住在那些高墙之内，事实上，巴基斯坦政府因为安全方面的顾虑正试图迫使在巴基斯坦的中国人搬到高墙里面生活。
但是中国人拒绝了这一请求。尽管他们要面临着一些危险，但他们选择和我们住在一起。这一切对我们产生了很大的影响。
I had similar positive experiences with the Chinese in Egypt and the African delegations and Middle Eastern delegations were absolutely delighted with the Chinese， how willing to explore the local culture they were， how respectful they were of us and how they would engage with us in social activities and general chit chat everywhere. In the meantime， we didn’t even see the European delegations to Egypt even once (separated for security again i guess).
我在埃及参加某次会议时也有过类似的积极经验。
非洲和中东的代表团都对与会的中国人抱有好感。他们非常愿意去探索当地的文化，并且他们尊重我们，愿意在社交场合中加入我们，并和我们谈笑风生。
而与此同时，我们甚至一次都没见到那群访问埃及的欧洲代表团们。(我猜他们又一次以安全为由将自己隔离了起来）。
Maybe a few folks have no idea what i’m talking about because they can’t relate. But as a Pakistani， our country is associated only with poverty， violence， terror and instability abroad. No one is impressed when we say we are from Pakistan. No one cares either. So much so that we have become accustomed to it， built our lives around it.
