Plane food (breakfast). A cube of anda. yum. :
These pictures are pretty neat. About halfway through the flight, we were in such a spot where you could see this really pretty sunset from one side of the plane and then it was pitch black on the other side.
Finally, we reach Qatar. And now for a 6-hr transit. oh JOY! :>
Dooty Free
Some restaurant
I was really really bored.
Finally, we reach Karachi (but the journey still isn’t over because we have to catch yet another flight to Lahore in a few hours).
The famous McDonalds across from the airport
pretty sunset
MQM pretty much bought out all of the billboard ad space in Karachi lol
This is what happens when you don’t have a proper drainage system and it rains.
It was the day after Bakra Eid when we reached Pakistan, so there were still some little guys that managed to survive an extra day. But soon, they were gone too. =(
a pretty white cow. taken from my cousins apartment balcony. poor thing. i took the pic and ran off before they did it! =|
Lahore 2 days after the assassination of Bhutto. Everyone was basically stuck inside their homes but me and a few cousins got really bored by day 2 and decided to go out.
Ripped posters of the muslim league (w/ the cycle symbol)
basically all the gas pumps were closed
there was a lonnng line at the 1 or 2 pumps in the area that were open on day 2.
rickshaw wala showing his support for bhutto (or maybe it’s just a disguise so he isn’t attacked by PPP radicals lol)
I don’t think the streets of Lahore have ever been so empty =O
Musjid in progress
The Hot Spot (good ice cream =])
A few days later at this amazing restaurant called CooCoo’s Den. It’s an old mansion that’s been made into a restaurant on the chatt and it’s RIGHT outside of the Badshahi Musjid. Plus the food is amazing. 5 stars out of 5 I recommend you go at night and sit at the highest chatt level it’s more fun =]
inside the mansion. the owner is an artist
the mansion from outside (it’s in a block of other shops and stuff)
Defence
Field hockey
Driving on the way to the village from Sialkot.
Hazy morning in Punjab
A name of a neighboring village: KALA SHAH KAKU lol
check out the ghetto computer
…and some idiot decides to hold a jalsaa in the middle of the road. It took us about 20 minutes to get through about 100 meters.
This guy was fighting with a police officer and a bunch of nosey people gathered 'round. The guy in the black kameez has his hand down his shalwaar btw. lol
I’m not sure what water this is. =\ But it’s really dried up. You can tell how high the water level used to be from the erosion on the land. sigh =
zingers @ KFC are sooo good. yum
At my Dad’s pindh:
This is my pal. With his little friend sitting next to him. =]
awww cute baby bakras!!!
khota
I love this picture. If you look closely, you’ll see there’s a little kid flying a kite, which he made from a plastic bag and tiny tree branches. He was flying that thing around and it just looked so cute. =)
the cool kids lol
This is my dad’s primary school. Seriously. It was under this tree. And on some days they got a chalkboard lol. school was cancelled when it rained =D
And back to Karachi…
Some pics from a rooftop
Pig
Paan wala (I think he resembles Cheegum a little bit =])
MacDonnal
