And so the word’s in. I’m going to Islamabad, Pakistan in late Feb for a few weeks. I was there in November 2007, and have some good memories of the place. Here’s a link to what I wrote at that time.
I also took some pictures at a couple interesting places, though I was pretty discrete with the camera. Â First is the Faisal Mosque, in the outskirts of Islamabad. It’s a huge complex, stark outside, but wonderfully ornate inside.
One of the things I remember about Iran is all the different modes of transportation you’d see in the city. People would, of course, walk, bicycle, ride motorcycles, drive various motorized contraptions with 3 or more wheels and, occasionally, you’d see more traditional transport like these.
All exist side-by-side and fill the needs of the people.
I’ve got to say that I’m looking forward to heading back.
