On the border to Pakistan

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Went to the border to Pakistan near Amritsa in Attari. This is the only possibility to cross the border between India and Pakistan. I went there by riksha and it was quite hot (20 Rs both directions).

It was interesting, as there were many many people… It was like a “show”, when both sides (Pakistan and India) showed their powerness by the people, who are working at the border. There have been many Indians - I noticed only a couple of other “foreigners”.

It was very loud there, as there was nice Indian music and the animator was speaking - shouting - his parols about India…
