After a week in Kuala Lumpur, we went to Islamabad. This time we only stayed three days (and frankly, that's enough time in Islamabad). On the day of our flight we hired a car to go to Murrey, a place up in the hills close to the city, where the British used to go to escape from the heat in the hot season. This time of the year it is quite chilly in Islamabad, and as we came closer to Murrey, it started to snow.
The snow caused traffic chaos, so we turned and went to see Faisal mosque instead, which reminds me of Saruman's place in "Lord of the Rings". As we admired the mosque, a group of young guys approached me and asked if they could take their photos with me. Before I knew it, I became a of prop for their posing. They rested their elbows on my shoulder, tried my other shoulder, took jackets on and off, shot photos alone with me or with a friend, and after quite a while they were confident that they had gotten a least a few good shots...to do what with? Show their mothers? Post in a matrimonial ad? Anyway, they had a good time, I had a good time, and it was all videorecorded from a distance by my colleague Per...
