My best friend, Reza, went to China on a business trip and fell in love with a Chinese woman. He is not coming back and is going to live in the countryside. Since him and his future wife can only have one child, he is going to adopt a couple of pandas. In a few years he plans on moving to the Gobi desert. He wants to teach her Urdu so he’s going to start with the word gobi (cauliflower).
You will be missed Reza! Lahore is not the same without you. Good luck raising your pandas in the Gobi desert.
You’re crazy woman. That’s all I’ve got for you.

Oddly enough, in the Xi’an province muslims are allowed two kids. This is what an old skullcap-wearing fellow told me when I was in Xi’an. So there’s hope.

Two isn’t enough for Reza. He wants a big family; Punjabi style.

This is Reza btw: The law in China is that parents are only allowed to have one child EXCEPT if both parents are only children. Only then are they allowed to have two kids. Though in rural areas no one checks and the farmers procreate like crazy.

The comment above this one is Reza confirming that he wants a big Punjabi family.
