Green's Hotel Restaurant Peshawar

... nice to take off the covers and enjoy a chai or some juice! (The freshly squeezed juice here was delicious and so cheap - about 20p for a big glass). While we were in Peshawar we visited the museum, and many bazaars around the old city including the Khyber bazaar, qissa khawani (storytellers) bird market (including colorful but cramped cages of various exotic birds including peacocks), jewelers bazaar, and meena bazar ...

I left Kabul in a local bus which left once it was filled up and headed east to a part of Afghanistan which sadly has remained out of bound for travelers recently due to the Islamic insurgency that thrives among the peaks and valleys that dominate this part of the country. Driving along the road it was hard not to think about the thousands of British who had lost their lives here in 'The retreat from Kabul'. In 1842 when the British were retreating from Kabul ...

... a number of places. The first was an Afghani refugee camp where there were hundreds of kids, many of whom, just able to walk were being put to work making clay bricks. Next was where they paint the famous Pakistani trucks that can be seem all over the country. The process was much more involved than I had expected, not only was there spraying but also, lots of people making templates, gluing on beads and reflectors, mirrors, chains...ect. The outcome ...

... And it's striking to see how, both in the city's bazaars or in terms of regional (and now global) geopolitics, things have not changed much. So for me no matter how many people tried to discourage me, there was no question I was going there. It was a logical conclusion to my trip in Central Asia and the transition to the Indian world. I'm glad I did. Peshawar is today the capital of the North West Frontier Province, a mostly lawless region composed of ...

... to look out for tourists especially now since there aren't many. The English newspaper "Dawn" reported that the Tourism and Sports Ministry is shooting for 7.7 million tourists this year. Maybe shooting is an unfortunate choice of words in this country. While the Paks are really friendly to us, there is a lot of violence in this country. It is endemic -- every day we read of domestic disputes that take in the families of both spouses ending with ...

Walking through the old streets of Peshawar, I saw before me a sea of men. Some of these men were counting the names of Allah with their rosary. Some of these men were selling their wares, thinking about the nature of the Koran. Some of these men were purchasing goods, their thoughts on jihad. Many of these men, though, wore the Beard of Abraham. As I practiced Ramadan, talked to many people, and read the Koran, walking in the shoes of these ...

... is defective, but if he seeks the food of the spirit, he is a chief. If he serves the body, he is an ass, but if he enters the ocean of the spirit, he will find a pearl. Although these two--good and evil--are different, both perform a single task.... How can I make good into bad? I am not God. I invite them, I am not their Creator. ~Rumi, Mathnavi As the sun set on the 13th of September, after a day at the Khyber Pass, Ramadan began with the new moon ...

On the several bus trips from Lahore to Peshawar, I looked out of the bus window as Bollywood and Pashtun films played loudly (I can still hum the theme song). The countryside flew past--fields, farms, then sparsely-vegetated dry looking mountains, then Islamabad, then Rawalpindi thanks to a kind-hearted taxi driver, then into rolling dry hills interspersed with farmland, then tan plains with villages and farmland, then views of distant ...

27.02.05, Peshawar, Pakistan Mal so ein paar sachen die hier auffallen.... Alle Frauen hier haben Kopftuch oder Burkha (Sack), aber fast alle laufen in Stoeckelschuhen herum... Der Linienbus haelt an der Tanke um zu tanken...das hatte ich in anderen Laendern auch schon......aber heute ist der Bus an die Tanke gefahren um Luft nachzufuellen...dauert 5 minuten und keiner meckert ALLE jungen Pakistanis haben nach einer Weile nur ...
