Lahore, Pakistan
There is pretty much one guest house that all the independent travellers who visit Lahore stay at, the Regale Internet Inn, by the Regal Cinema on The Mall. This is because: 1. There aren't that many independent travellers in Pakistan. 2. All the other budget hotels have a reputation for either: (i) taking things out of your room (e.g. your cash...
Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan beats
For a few days before I left for Pakistan, I was having a few doubts about my decision to head over the border. But, at the end, I decided that spending a few days in Pakistan wouldn't be the most dangerous thing I've ever done, so what the hell. I grabbed some breakfast with Tom at our favorite tea stall, where we dined on panneer pranthas and ...
Lahore, Pakistan cmm80After I dropped my bags off in the dingy dorm room at the Regale Internet Inn, I set off to do some exploring. I crossed the intimidating thoroughfare near the hotel, and walked for a kilometer through what appeared to be the 'electronics district', with every storefront containing identical displays of cell phones. Occasionally, there would be ...
Lahore, Pakistan cmm80Fortunately I had a good idea what to expect crossing the border from India to Pakistan, since I knew four people who'd crossed in the last month. Everyone had agreed that things change for the better when you get to Pakistan. This border is famous for the ceremony that occurs every day an hour before sunset, in which the border is officially cl...
Lahore, Pakistan dynamo(I am actually on the Karakoram highway itself now.. this entry was for a few days ago) Well, here is the first report from Hell. In Lahore (second largest city in Pakistan), it was 36 degrees at 6:30am this morning. Where I was originally headed (Islamabad, the capital), the forecast was for 47 degrees. Yikes! Welcome to Pakistan in the middle ...
Lahore, Pakistan kafir_melThe most I had heard of Lahore in the past was, I'm afraid to say, because of cricket. I didn't know too much else about it but I was still excited to be here. Magically our train was only and hour and a quarter late this time which was great! Although, it is Ramadan now and they didn't come through offering any nice snacks or chai. It was actua...
Lahore, Pakistan lucinateVisited Lahore Fort. No time to write about it for now, I'm putting photos up though.
Lahore, Pakistan randomostiarAfter arriving in Lahore at 4:30am in the sweltering heat and making my way out of the airport to a greeting of countless shouting locals all trying to get my business in their taxis, I was rescued by a guy from the Hotel booked an airport pick-up with. He took me back to their own house because it is quieter and will help me get some good sleep...

Lahore, Pakistan uncle_davrosOnce again, we were on a mission. This time to Islamabad to pick up our passports with the Indian visas attached. Then onto Lahore and to the border as India was calling us. Up early, and grabbed a taxi to take us back to our hotel. We hung out doing nothing and then it was time to go to the embassy enclave. I wanted to visit the Australian High...
Wagah, Pakistan uncle_davros... the place. The sound was Massive Attackesque with tribal, trance-like beats, catchy hooks and an absolutely killer voice. In fact the only aspect of the performance that I didn't like, was the traditional custom where people would get up and flick money towards the singer, as a show of their appreciation. Whilst this is a nice idea in theory, I found it far too invasive and distracting. It was simply an opportunity for rich men to flaunt their wealth and ...
