Pakistan Knows How To Throw A Party!!!!!!!!!

   Pakistan is a sovereign country in South Asia with a population of 180 million people and still growing. Pakistan is surrounded by Afghanistan, Iran, India, and China which make them look like a small country but from what I read they know how to make their country look big when they throw a party. One of their festivals they celebrate is Shab-E-Barat. Shab-E-Barat is a religious festival featuring firework and light displays. Shab-E-Barat is celebrated throughout Pakistan whether you’re a kid or adult you participate in firing fire crackers and fire work. Another one of their largest festivals in Pakistan is Independence Day and Pakistanis commemorate this day because it celebrates the founding of Pakistan in 1947. The celebration involves fireworks, lighting, the processions and public meetings all businesses and school are closed for this big celebration. Although both America and Pakistan  celebrated Independence Day; Pakistan celebrates on August 14 and Americans celebrate on July 4. This is only because America was founded at a different time then Pakistan. Finally if you could join one celebration held in Pakistan out of Shab-E-Barat and Pakistan Independence Day which one would you choose?

    Gelani, this is an interesting topic, and I think that I would probably want to watch the fireworks because I think that fireworks are pretty cool, at least I like them on the 4th of July. I decided to look at some other things they do during this festival. I figured out that another thing that they enjoy doing is riding decorated Camels and watching whats going on. I would want to see one of these festival in action one day.

    I still think we throw better parties but there parties sound awesome. I think it’s interesting that they have their religion connect to dancing to express our self's. I also like that they decorate camels and use henna. I found out that they have religious party's that support there god and make songs to connect with him and have their religious food. They have very interesting party and religions in South Asia. What do you think is the most interesting thing they do at parties?
