US consulate employees use Siri to learn more about Afridi, Urdu and Chapli Kababs

Employees of the US consulate in Karachi use their iPhones to learn more about Pakistan

You may have used Siri, Apple’s voice-activated digital assistant, for speed-dialing, getting directions, scheduling meetings and perhaps even for a random conversation. But ever tested its world history and geography? The US consulate in Karachi did just that.



In a hilarious video shared on their Facebook page, employees of the US consulate in Karachi ask  Siri questions about Pakistan, ranging fron Muhammad Ali Jinnah to Lyari and Chapli Kebab.  Siri’s answers will surprise and amuse you.



Earlier, to mark the Women’s History Month in April, US Consulate General Karachi payed tribute to notable Pakistani women “excelling in in their respective fields and breaking all stereotypes.”



Last year, the Consulate shared fun-filled images of a dholki thrown for consulate employees by their Pakistani colleagues.

The images showed staff and friends enjoying local traditions of a Pakistani ‘mehndi’, complete with bangles, singing and dancing at a site decorated in traditional Pakistani style canopies, carpets and flowers specifically marigolds.
