Pakistan
When Asher John came to the United States from Pakistan in 2007, he said he used to think that the U.S. wasn’t just another country. It wasn’t even another continent. It was a whole new planet.
“Everything is different,” John said. “The only thing I could see which was similar was the sky and the stars at night, if you could see them.”
It wasn’t the interactions, atmosphere or the community that he missed from home. The one thing that bothered him the most was the food.
There were no Pakistani restaurants in Muncie, and he didn’t know how to cook when he came to the U.S.
He ate lunch at the Atrium every day his entire first semester. For other meals, he would eat simple foods like bread and grape juice because he couldn’t prepare anything else.
