Guess where I went last Saturday........ you are right Rawalpindi.
After the blandness of Islamabad Rawalpindi was a breath of fresh air, figuratively speaking.
It was hot, dirty, noisy, smelly, congested, overcrowded and all the things one would expect from a city on the sub-continent.
Went to the city with one of the Mobilink guys as he had to take his car to the mechanic. This turned out to be just one in a whole street of mechanic workshops. All seemed to be working together working on cars either in a small workshop or just right on the street. The jigs they used all seemed to be home made and efficient.
While they were working on his car we took a walk around the check bazar, not sure if that is spelt right but that is what it sounded like. This wasn't a crowded as Iwas expecting but then again it was middle of the afternoon and pretty hot. Some old buildings that looked as if the upper balconies were about to fall into the street.
Found some more places to get a beer. Have joined the UN club on Hill Rd and can get some strongbow cider there. Best thing is that it is within walking distance. Also just around the corner is a very good Italian restaurant that also sellw wine and corona mexican lager. Well I'll drink just about anything when pushed.
