Water Resources: Hydraulics and Hydrology
think something about, I think they saw an accident where somebody had bumped
into a bicycle rider. Something interesting about it though. Apparently, the bicycle
rider, he was the number one. The guy in the car was in trouble, the one that hit
him. I guess that may be true in some other places, too, where bicycles are
predominant.
Q ..
I imagine there are a lot of them in those countries because of the lack of money.
So mostly rich people and foreigners have cars.

I wanted to get something for Mary one time I was there, so Azeemuddin took me
shopping, and he knew the ins and outs of shopping. I ended up buying some pink
pearls. They're just found in certain places, I guess. I liked those. They have
faded. I don't think they were fakes or anything, but apparently they fade. Mary
never used them very much. I think they're still in her drawer in there. The last
time I saw them they were not very pink anymore. But anyhow, he took me to a
place, and got me a special price on those.
Everytime I'd go over there I'd buy a rug. Both Pakistanis and Indians are famous
for making rugs. The Pakistanis make a lot of rugs. I got a half a dozen around here
and I've given some of them away. I went where they use child labor to watch them
working on them. They're probably not the same quality as the so-called Persian
rugs. But they're pretty nice. Interestingly, after they get them made, they scrub
them. They wash them and scrub them down with water. You wouldn't ordinarily
think of doing that. But I guess that gets rid of something that's on them when
they're making them.
Q ..
Those things are so expensive now.
Even the Pakistani ones probably are pretty
expensive.
A ..
I suppose so. Well, there's one downstairs when you come in. There's one, you
see it in the spare bedroom there, too, lying on the floor in there. I've given a
couple to the children. I think I paid about one hundred dollars for them. Of
course, I always had somebody that was giving me support when I bought them.
Q ..
Somebody who knew the dealer.
A
Yes.
