This is basically the full ceremony that is carried out daily on the Pakistan-India border (Wagah) near Lahore, Pakistan and Amritsar, India.
The video is pretty long, however the real thing is much longer!
I will post a video with a bit of facts etc about Wagah, it's really interesting.
Music: Mast Kalandar
Setting my foot here for the first time in Islamabad, Pakistan. Looking out the window, meeting uncle Bilal and aunty Manna.
Next, we're going to the mountain to see Islamabad from above!
Music: Bob Marley - Lively up yourself
First a few words about the wedding: I've never been to anything like that in my life, there were so many people, so nice outfits, such good music... so much fun!
So, now out in Lahore to Anarkali Bazaar!
(The girl with the shawl at the very beginning is my sister, not me.)
Music: Abrar-Ul-Haq
While walking around town, doing some (excellent!) shopping in Karachi we saw a man putting some colour to the world (?) so I caught him on tape :)
Called a rung-rez (accorning to mothsmoke, thanks!)
Location: Duppatta Gali, Tariq Road
Music: Bob Marley - One Dup
Yes!
When i say "go home" I mean go back to the hotel (not fly back to Sweden). You probably understood that already :P
Bye Lahore! Hi Karachi!
Music: B*Witched - Mickey, Strings - Dhaani
Yup, short vid about my first impression of Karachi. Staying at the Royal Inn... ooo, fancy.
Eid comeing closer... yes this was before Eid, people (end of December 2006).
Music: Bob Marley - One Love
Title says it. Never been at a Pakistani shaadi before... matter of fact I've only been at one wedding in my whole life (that was in Spain). By the way, it's NOT my wedding.
OK, so this clip doesn't show Pakistan or Lahore, just us getting ready but next time you'll get the wedding :)
Music: Alicia Keys - Rock Wit U - Girlfriend
Who said I'm going to Sweden? ;)
We return to Islambad after spending time in Lahore and Karachi, just a couple of days before Eid (this was in Dec/Jan).
We stay at Marvi's Guesthouse which is just a couple of minutes from Jinnah Super/Sooper.
Music:
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Ve Pardesia
The day before leaving Lahore for Karachi we visit the Lahore Fort which has its origins in the XII century but was restored by the Moghul Emperors Jehangir, Shah Jehan and Aurangzeb.
We were guided by three local experts (my father's cousins).
Music:
Yanni - To The One Who Knows
A little lesson in culture and history for anyone interested! :)
