I can help you regarding this.. coz i m a Lahorian....
well whatever you heared is right about Pakistan, Pakistan is under attack of so called taleban terrorists. Anyhow, Lahore never stops, Lahore is a live city, which is known as city of Colleges, City of gardens and city of Zinda dilan ( Hearts )
Well there are alots of places, Like Lahore fort, Lahore museum, Lahore Badshahi mosque, Minar e Pakistan, Fortress stadium, Liberty, etc etc..
you can shop in Pace ( Gulberg ), Liberty ( Gulberg ), Defence Y block, Pot Puri Fortress stadium, Anarkali ( Mall Road ), Ichra Bazar, Sadar Bazar and alots of more.... depends upon you.
Light is a big problem in Lahore right now, The Loadshedding is increased upto 16 hrs a day. Weather would be very hot, 40+ *C would be expected.
But Nights are cool, see worthy. you must visit Lahore in night, as it looks like a First Night Bride. :) specially, along with Canal...
Regarding clothes, you can dress up whatever you want, but you will be noticed if it is little out of way.. Everyone will try to get your cell number, or contact number and will try on you hahahahah.. thats really wierd.
Anything else you want to know I m here to furnish.
Regard,
Gujjar.
hi, Iám coming to Lahore in August and would appreciate it if you could also guide me to the shops and I would also like to socialize with friends over there that would be new to me. I have only some family there but do not really have a circle of friends there because I live in the USA. thanx
