back in Lahore - sigh




Yes, back to lahore . After one week in Kl shifting house and appeasing the wife. Poor woman had to do all the packing herself, organise the renovation , organise the movers etc, so yours truly was given warning that he better help unpack or else. Did the ceremonial lighting of stove thing and all. Yup, back to Lahore with the load shedding, shitty drivers. I still can't understand why there is a second guy at immigration who checks your passports 10 steps away after the counter stamps the passport. I heard of employment creation but this is ridiculous. And it really pisses me off when the guy browses through your passport wasting everyone's time. And what's with all the security checks? Dude, no self respecting chinaman will ever blow himself up. You see a yeloow skin guy, wave him through ! Anyway it's back to KL on thursday again, instructions from the boss.

Things that are cheap in Lahore

Still trying to get a flight back on SIA. Flights are full because of all the shenanigans at Bangkok airport, and there are precious few alternatives. Went to pick up my clothes today, one suit, 3 trousers all wool blend, two trousers garbedine and two shirts all for 10000 rupees (usd 125). Other things that are cheap here : medicine, flatware, corning ware, curtains , bed sheets, shoes, leather jackets (usd 30), smokes, labour
