Things that make life bearable in Lahore

There are basically 4 things that make life bearable in Lahore. (1) Golf. There are now 3 courses in Lahore ie Gymkhana, Garrison and Royal Palm. Gymkhana is dead flat but has pretty good greens and big huge trees. The rough is pretty long as I think they may not have the machinery to cut, which makes hitting into the trees/rough "jail". Garrison is also dead flat and pretty much hit and giggle. The club is pretty casual and is normally a very relaxed outing. Royal Palm is short and very tight. The rough is pretty brutal as machinery I think is a problem, and greens are small but do not bite. It's fun if you keep the tee shots on the fairway. I have not played in Palm for the past 9 months ever since the elections as they stopped serving grog (used to be the only place that served grog). (2) Cable TV - 90 channels, lots of sports channels including the South African ones, but too much cricket on tv. Movie channels are great as with other things in Pakistan, no intellectual property worries. I personally do not have a problem watching pirated movies as I won't lose any sleep if Tom Cruise makes a million or so less. (3) Internet - it's unstable as hell, and the load shedding really pisses you off especially if you are downloading stuff (music,movies, porn let's face it). Also the government does not block any sites. They tried blocking Youtube once but ended up screwing up all the ISP's. (4) Grog which we bring in ourselves
