For a long time after I moved away, I always had dreams of the beautiful landscape. The blue-green streams we used to canoe in, the lush green trails we would bike or hike, the beautiful lakes we'd swim in during the summertime, and most of all, the rugged and magnificent mountains that would almost beg you upward. I am really missing it. -------------------- ~Susie 'Yesterday's the past and tomorrow's the future. Today is a gift - which is why they call it the present.'

Catch a mini bus towards the Kalasha Vallies and go and hang out with the Kalasha people. There was no tourists when we were there. Three hours of electricity per day through hydro power. When they turn off the lights, the show the sky puts on is indescribable. And, there are meant to be better vallies further North, which is where we will head next time. Forget the West, get into Pakistan Story and photos can be found here -------------------- Go on, it won't hurt "Madam, you have between your legs an instrument capable of giving pleasure to thousands and all you can do is scratch it.

Planet Pioneer Group: Members Posts: 2344 Joined: 21-August 05 Member No.: 226 Nominate me as a Local Expert	Palin went to the Kalasha Valley and we stayed in the same guesthouse as him. When he crosses over into India, he states that he has not drunk any alcohol since arriving in Pakistan. They told us otherwise because they brew their own. It is the only place allowed in Pakistan to consume, and it is such a beautiful place. They also say that the Shandur Pass where the highest Polo game takes place is amazing. A guy we met went, and him being the only Westener got to sit with the President !!! -------------------- Go on, it won't hurt "Madam, you have between your legs an instrument capable of giving pleasure to thousands and all you can do is scratch it.

Walking along a tiny mud path, winding around the cliffs with a 2km drop to the Yangtze river flowing below. 2 of the best days on my entire trip and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Planet Pioneer Group: Local Expert Posts: 2214 Joined: 3-May 06 From: Guildford, UK Member No.: 692	Lol whats your problem with Canadians? My mates been saying he'll move to Canada for years but never will. I couldn't be dealing with the cold weather. Although it was 10C here the other day and I actually used the term "boiling" when I got home! Come March I'm sure I'll be sunbathing in 12C weather like all the other poms!! -------------------- My Travelogue Rich

Channucksville is worthy of attention for it's beauty, but there is more to life than Canada. We write about it, you just see what you want to see when it comes to Channucks.
