10. The millions of loud abnoxious crows
9. The poverty on every street corner and the very sad looking animals
8. Eid (when they kill sheep and cows in the middle of the street)
7. Being stared at everywhere I went b/c I'm white
6. The lack of upkeep of beautiful architecture and murals
5. Bollywood movies (such a tease, there are so many of them on TV but no English subtitles argh)
4. Maniacal driving in Lahore (white knuckled the whole time!)
3. All the food is damn spicy, even western style food
2. Haggling in the bazaars- it's bloody tiring
1. The open sewer in Lahore
Ten things I loved about Pakistan:
10. The people (amazingly warm and welcoming)
9. The architecture and landscape
8. Driving in Lahore (let's be honest, it was scary but fun, we had a good driver)
7. The food (might be damn spicy, but I didn't salt anything once b/c at least it was flavourful)
8. Shopping (yes even the haggling, b/c Noor actually handled that in the end)
6. The colours in the bazaars at the weddings, everywhere
5. Eid (while traumatizing, those who can afford the animals that are slaughtered give 2/3 of it to the poor)
4. Javeed and Os's family
3. The Wagha Border Bravado
2. The parties (open bar... who would have thought)
1. Chaat (I will never be able to eat chaat in Toronto again!)

Maybe they were staring at your beauty, and not at your gori-ness?
MMMMM! GARAM MASALA!
And you never do the haggling in Toronto. I always do it.
I never ever do haggling period.
My beauty? Nope, don't think so. Definately not. It was more like a freak show kind of interest.
Yup ladies and gentlement, step right up to see the fair skinned female.... ooooo frightening....
