... and in a flash I'm back!
Tuesday, August 24, 2004
Just got back this morning. My trip ended up being slightly longer than I planned, due to unforeseen circumstances. But thankfully that meant I missed yesterday's blackout that took over the island. There's far too much to blog about, and just not enough time. For now though, I leave you with the above picture. Can anyone out there guess where I was based on the photo? I'll tell you about my trip in the next few posts. Ta ta.

Welcome back to the Chan'ad - your presence has been missed in these parts.
At a stretch I'd say one of Pakistan's more liberal cities - Lahore perhaps?

Well you're right on that it is a city in Pakistan. (Yes, I noticed the "Saudi-Pak Bank" sign after I posted the pic). But I'm quite curious to know what aspect of the photo leads you to think that it is one of the more "liberal" cities? Cheers :)

I took it to be Pakistani more from the way the guys are dressed and their laid back way of chilling on the sidewalk.
I thought it was one of Pakistan’s more liberal cities because I assumed that was a church steeple in the background but on closer look it seems to be a Victorian style clock tower – either way I’d imagine that in one of Pakistan’s really conservative cities there’d be attempts to cover (or blow) it up.
