Free day, but I forgot what I did.

Rachel and I grabbed lunch together and then we worked the PM shift.

Thursday, July 26th
I had the PM shift, but I showed up an hour and half late because I went on a Pavilion visit to Pakistan. I had my friend cover me for that time and I'm so glad I went because I had an absolutely fantastic time. I had met the commissioner of Pakistan during the Six Party Talks as he was the North Korean representative in our group. It was also really interesting to hear his perspective on Pakistan and the Pakistan-US relationship. He was really honest about the violence in Pakistan, but he talked about how education is what people need the most because the private schools in Pakistan are fantastic, but the public schools are really bad. He said that even though the US gives Pakistan billions of dollars, the money ends up in the pockets of friends of the high government officials, not with the people, so what Pakistan really needs is money put directly into education. As a side note, I didn't just blow off work. Rachel was falcon breaker, so she didn't have anything to do for the first hour and a half and so she agreed to cover my shift for me.

At the end of work I got a text from Boram saying that some guy had come into her pavilion the day before and told her he was a spy for the Korean military and that today he had somehow found out her cellphone number and Facebook page and started contacting her, which really freaked her out understandably. We just hung out with her after work in order to give her some rational advice since she was beyond rational thinking by that point. One thing I've learned from Expo is that you can the best and worst in people. For example, people have been at times incredibly kind and friendly to us. At other times, they've been completely rude or creepy. I don't know how people can think that their behavior is okay or acceptable, but it really pushed everyone I think to the edge several times and really tested us.
