Pakistan transport


All you see are these massive decorated trucks which looked like some truck with women clothes on. You may be thinking what the hell is that, it the secret weapon of Pakistan, yes it a bus. it can carry up to 1000 people and if you move an inch your a goner.

luckily we had a AC van waiting for us at the airport which my uncle booked from Mirpur, A town which is north of Pakistan and near the border between India run Kashmir and Pakistan run Kashmir it's about 2 hours from the airport.

As we were going to Rawalpindi first, we noticed how packed the roads were and the sound of car horns make you jump and turn around. This experince was one of the best parts i enjoyed in Pakistan which involved traveling from one city to the other with service stops.

unlike in the U.K where service stops involve having McDonald or WHSmiths these service stops had, Samosa stop, corn on the stick stop, tea stops, pakistani sweets stops, mini hotels withcurries i had never seen in my life and the best thing cig shop.

The brilliant thing for me was if i had every item on that list once it would cost me a maximum of £3.

So far so good. I decided to become a chain smoker there and then.
