The Residency Hotel Lahore

... couple of reasons. First, in the darkness people couldn't really tell I was a foreigner and they never looked twice. Second, it was a heck of a lot cooler. Eventually my ambling brought me to a restaurant called the Salt and Pepper. Upon entering all activity stopped and the waiter ushered me to a massive booth where I sat alone and was treated like royalty. The food consisted of chicken, chicken and more chicken. Oh, and there was some rice, too. Not very original but tasty ...

... to remember him. We went for ice-cream and he accompanied us to the Kabaddi match although I really don't think it was his kind of thing and he hated the crowds of people that engulfed us as they tried to say hello and shake hands. In my last few days S helped me with my visits to the visa office and post office - I had a big package to send back with my souvenirs, warm clothes and thick sleeping bag - hopefully I won't need them ...

... on Truck art , and an equally good one on Lahore street life. At the moment, I am in Karachi, visiting my new family. The in-laws are being very kind, but I get the feeling that having a white, Scottish daughter-in-law isn't exactly what they planned on, and it will take a while to get used to the concept. My mother-in-law is a fantastic cook, BTW.

... one day. In essence, bribing the parents to let their children go to school. He said a friend of his was running such a school, with good results. We arrived at Shezan. Large, impressive doorman. Waiters in uniforms, deferential and quiet. Damask tablecloths and fresh roses. I sat down, looked at the china and heavy flatware, and wondered if I would be able to eat anything, since I was so full of guilt and pity.

... unprepared here - I choose to come so quickly and had no idea on the exchange rates, customs or where I wanted to go and already this felt like a whole new world again but the uncertainty and spontaneity was exciting too. It was around 6pm when I arrived at the hostel and in the hard it's always harder to work out my bearings but I resisted the temptation of the easy options off KFC and Subway next to the hostel and instead wandered quite a way to find a ...

... welcome relief from the heavy traffic outside, and enjoyed walking down the streets, past old mosques and through bustling bazaars. I sat down at one of the street stalls for chapattis and dal, and relaxed while watching the locals pass by. Of course, I got lost again on the way home, and took another bus. Guests of the Regale Inn know Thursday as 'Sufi Night'. Sufis are Islamic mystics, and every Thursday in Lahore, some sufis put on a show for all ...

Then our guide returned and told us we had to leave in the middle of the performance ...

... then. I saw a man down-trodden and exhausted -- a man trying to keep his dignity while holding my dress in his hand --and knowing it was sincere -- he wasn't getting a commission. It was overwhelming really --it washed over me all at once, Here is a man with all the cards stacked against him -- he's got a really tough life -- he's working an honest job and doing about as best as he's mentally capable.

... bit like having your first spicy meal -- the next time you feel the heat less and so you order your dish medium spicy -- later you order the vindaloo: your eyes glaze, your face flushes, you laugh as you blot your brow -- you take another bite. The question is however, just how hot is too hot, and how can you know until you've tasted it? <br><br>I could see a large illuminated mosque bathed in amber, streams of cars lights and little else as my flight was touching down in Lahore ...
