Backpack Pakistan
Travelled to Lahore, Islamabad/Rawalpindi and Peshawar, but the highlight of Pakistan was the Pakistan/India border closing ceremony. You really have to see this to believe it. 20 minutes of macho men trying to outdo each other.
Fanatical, but bloody funny
Pakistan/India Border Ceremony, 2003
Nice handlebars...
Pakistani Ranger, Indian Border
These guards (Pakistani Rangers) perform the ceremony opposite their Indian counterparts every night. They've been doing it since 1947 and really hate each other (though you must wonder if they meet for a drink after "Good show tonight Rahib...").

"He sat,... astride the gun Zam-Zammah on her brick platform opposite the old Ajaib-Gher - the Wonder House..." Opening lines to 'Kim' by Rudyard Kipling.

Well, this is her and that's the 'Wonder House' in the background (Lahore Museum).

Straight our of Kim
Lahore, Pakistan
...there is no moral to the story, it's just a bunch of stuff that happened...
