The guest of the podcast was Mrs. Marcela Müllerová, the author of the book In the Shadow of the Rainbow, in which she describes her life in Peshawar, Pakistan, in 2007 and 2008. She arrived in the country with her family and was in for a real culture shock. The Indian subcontinent is known for the chaos and filth at every corner, which for a few years became commonplace for Ms. Müller. In addition, during her time in Pakistan, clashes between the government and Islamic fundamentalists were escalating across the country, sparking several fatal incidents that resulted in many deaths from assassinations and bombings. Despite all this, Mrs. Müller had no choice but to get used to life in Pakistan and find joy in discovering a new culture, meeting new people and their daily habits. You will hear more about other experiences during the integration of Mrs. Müller in a country of two hundred million people, where Islam is first, in the entire podcast. Pleasant listening!
