A Year in Lahore: Living Through History in Pakistan
What was it like to live and teach in Lahore, Pakistan during one of the most pivotal moments in modern history? "A Year in Lahore" chronicles an extraordinary year of experiences, challenges, and unexpected turns as we navigated life in this vibrant Pakistani city during the aftermath of 9/11.
From settling into our "Little House on the Punjab" to teaching at the Lahore American School, our story captures the daily rhythms of expatriate life in South Asia. But this wasn't just any year abroad – it was a year that would test our resilience and adaptability in ways we never imagined.
The chapter links below tell the complete story: our initial excitement of establishing a new home, the rewarding work at an international school, and then the dramatic shifts that came with global events. You'll read about our evacuations to Thailand and Malaysia as safety concerns mounted, and how we eventually found moments of normalcy again – exploring Lahore's incredible sights and even taking a restorative holiday in Sri Lanka.
This collection of chapters offers an intimate, ground-level perspective on what it meant to be Americans living in Pakistan during a time of unprecedented tension and uncertainty. It's a story of cultural immersion, educational dedication, and the unexpected ways that global events can reshape individual lives.
