Border

City: Amritsar, India
Weather: 100°, sunny
Site: India/Pakistan Border
Activity: Watching closing of the border ceremony

 

Watching this daily ceremony for the closing of the Indian/Pakistan was definitely a unique experience but no, I did not enjoy it. It was over 100 degrees in direct sun. Waiting. Loud music and marching we could barely see. The Indians and Pakistanis took turns yelling at each other and doing high kicks from across the gate. And then we got back into a hot van with two tourists per seat and went back to town at sunset.
