Amongst all the cousins this little fellow is supposed to be the youngest of us all. The last one of our generation and he's super hooked on computer games!

Trainer? what kind of trainer? Is he the drill Sargent or something?
 
Asim,thanks for sharing the images.
Its good that we can know abt a lot of people who are from so far away places.
 
Where in Virginia did you stay? I live in Fairfax right now and went went to high school in Arlington. This is a wonderful (but really expensive!) place to live.
 
Fairfax county... Though usually spent time in Arlington.

It's the only place to live in Virginia.

I went towards Luray Caverns, and slowly everything started to turn into gaons (villages). Having spent the bulk of my life in Dubai, I'm a city guy so it was fun to go down to DC.

Speaking of Arlington, this is the spot on Arlington BLVD. which has the most accidents in America!

I have vague memories of West Virginia when my family were driving through there to Baltimore in order to atttend marriage. I have lived in Ohio(3.5 yrs) and California(3mths) because my dad studied in Ohio State(Columbus). I love U.S.A., especially the shopping! Got great basketball shoes for $29.99 in Buffalo, the new T-MAC's which are $125 or something in Canada.I remember steep mountains as we drove and through the highway. The pictures are in Pakistan at my grandparents. It is gorgeous.:rolleyes:
 
West Virginia's beautiful by day. But it's basically just a big jungle!

I went to Baltimore a coupla times. Cool thing about these areas surrounding DC are the amount of immigrant population they have there.
 
My dad's uncle(mamoon) has been in Baltimore since 1972 and other people have been there for over 10 years now. Lots of Desi's in greater metropolis now. West Virginia is rural like Kentucky etc. I think the biggest city is Charleston with a population over 125,000.
