Time has passed...

Since the first post, about 3 months have passed. I do not have the time, nor the will, to write follow up posts for each and every interesting event which may or may not have occurred. For this reason I have decided to document the activities and adventures of the past months with photos and short descriptions: (click on any photo to see it bigger)

Preparing for the wedding...Matt just bought a new Shalwar Kameez. He comes running out of the room..."Umm, I think I bought the wrong size...??!?!". Ha!

This is the first wedding we went to. The bride is made to look like a doll, and is not allowed to laugh, let alone smile, during the ceremony. Societal rigidity, even during celebrations.

The beautiful fabric of my 'fancy shalwar kameez'.

Matthais and I at the wedding.

Wagah Border:

During a short trip to Wagah border.

Wagah border (with India). Notice, gender segregation, even here.


The closing of the border ceremony. A great opportunity for guards to grunt, stomp, shout and spew their hatred for India. Fabulous...


Pakistani Guard. Wagah Border.
