Woo.. finally back from milan. it's time to start blogging away before i forgot all abt my 2 trips to milan n lahore of late.
Ok lahore 1st.
Lahore 26th april.
How i pass most of my time in Lahore.Eat , sleep and watch DVDs.
I finished 1 whole taiwanese drama. Weather was blazing hot and i cant go out as i please in Pakistan. too scary.
The big fish tank @ the hotel lobby.
inside the tuk tuk to the local bazaar.
We were pretty hesitant to check out the bazaar cos there were no guys with us. To make things worse, we discussed abt those bombing incidents. one steward who went lahore last month experienced a bomb scare @ a shopping center. Sounds really terrifying.
my 1st time outstation experiencing so much anxiety . But cant help to go out n take a look at how the locals lived.
The traffic was scary. cant tell from this pic though.
Finally here. the tuk tuk ride cost us oni 1 buck or so. me, still looking a little scared.
we spend almost 2 hrs at this khussa house. Look at the mess we created.
2 of my colleagues bought like 10 pairs each can.
the thick aromatic milk tea they offered. Nice!
i have no intention to gt any.but sitting 2 hrs in e shop got me 3 pairs of khussa.haven worn them yet cos actually not very comfortable. waste $$ but i love the silver pair.
Time to leave..can u tell i'm hot n sweaty all over.haha
Later in the evening we signed up for a tour to the borders of India and Pakistan to catch the change of guards.
On the way there, this is what i saw. and mind you, the cows and horse were bathing in the same river as well. Van was a little too fast so din managed to catch hold of the animals.
The little gal who entertained us through the ride. Was very surprised that the family brought the kids here for a holiday. Hmmm not a very wise choice i suppose? what can a 3-5 yr old kid remember when she grows up? its def a good idea to bring the kids to see poverty but mayb abt 10 yrs old.
Us @ the customs.
Cheers. her mum and brother behind us. i forgot her name. i m so pea brained nwadays.
Caution!
the seats on the left hand side are for ladies only.
The manly Right hand side.
Feels like NDP cos there were cheers ,singing n so on. the locals are so patriotic.
It so cute cos the guards marched damn fast!
I was so amused by their stunts.. this was only one of them. the video will illustrate better but think a tad too big to upload.
The gate that they shared. The Pakistan guards are so much taller and big sized than the indian ones.
The flags are down.
Its amazing that this ceremony is carried out daily and yet there are still so many locals living around the area coming to support each day.
The whole ceremony was really a very interesting affair.
Us @ the gate.
We probably looked interesting and alien to them too. the group of young gals requested a pic with us.
The super duper down and dusty living quarters near the border. Yes i came that close to what you always see in documentaries.
I hope i gt a chance to blog abt my 2 milan trips soon. hiek
