Finally arrived!

Finally the luggage arrived, no more borrowed clothes at least.

How many things have changed since my last visit...the biggest difference is the shortage of of electricity in a major city like Lahore.  We have one hour of electricity and then one hour of load shedding, continuously throughout the 24 hour period.  And ofcourse the heat is so much that it is unbearable to sit in a room with a fan blowing at full speed.  Nothing less than an air-conditioner would work.  Water coolers, that we saw, while growing up are no more useful. 

Interesting two months ahead!

Back to Pakistan...

...after 20 months. This time for a much shorter and different project than before.

Arrived at 1:50 a.m. Sunday June 24th at Lahore Airport, after hours of waiting, no luggage to be found.  It probably got left behind in Chicago or Manchester or Dubai... hopefully will find out soon!
