the girl in the orange has got some moves


One more post before bed. Tomorrow we have a two day train ride. The border closing ceremony was pretty cool. There were about a few thousand Indian people on our side dancing and shouting patriotic things like "Hindustani...", "Namaste!" while waving the flag. The guards were dressed in very flamboyant uniforms meant to make them look tall and imposing. The tourists sit in a seperate VIP section. It was a little weird. The Pakistan side had maybe sixty people. It looked dull in comparison. The gaurds took turns seeing how long they could shout into the loudspeaker, and then they did some stomping and glaring at each other. Then, they lowered their flags, and did some more stomping and it was over. -Ashby
