A funny thing happened on my way to the Mosque

In Lahore Os and I decided to go to the Lahore Museum. It was fantastic. The building itself is stunning and the displays and artifacts that they have are amazing. It's amazing how close you can get to many of these artifacts.There was just so much to see and one day I will show you all the pictures I took in the museum (I actually had to pay a fee to take those pictures, 15 rupees.... which is like 10 cents).
So Os and I are walking around the museum and this group of young guys comes up to us and says can we take your picture. At first we were like no. Becuase that's wierd. I mean nobody's come up to me to take my picture just because I look different. Just because I'm white. They followed us around and eventually we were just like fine take your pictures. So they did, one guys even took video. Wanted to record the fact that there was this gauri that he saw with his own eyes. Living and breathing.
So fine, we move on to the next exhibit. More guys come up to us, this time they want to take a picture with us. So we pose for another 5 photos. At this point I'm just feeling like a freak. Yup a circus freak. "Step up boys and girls, not only is she tall but she's fair skinned!" Os said he began to know what it was like to be like Britney or Lindsay, being hounded for pics. And we aren't even famous people!!!!
I know they meant no harm by it, it was purely curiousity. But what I've always loved about Toronto, is my annonymity, being able to pretty much blend into the crowd. In Lahore, far more then Karachi, I was a complete outsider and I felt like it all the time. When walking down the street people would stare, when I was driving in the car people in other cars, on motor bikes, walking in the street would stare.
At the Lahore Fort (pictures to come at another time) a young man came up to me and asked if I would be so kind as to take a picture with his wife. Annoyed as I was at this point, they were just so sweet and .... timid..... and clearly the wife was either very shy or as Os thinks extremely annoyed with her husband who wanted her to take a picture with some other woman. Anyway, I took the picture with her then he wanted one with me and her, so I figured what the heck. I should have charged all these people for it. HAHAHA. Though I do wonder what they will tell their friends when they go home (as many of them were tourists from around Pakistan) and describe their vacation.
In any case, the same day we went to the Lahore Fort we went to the Badshahi Mosque. These little girls were staring openly at me and when I waved they just began to giggle, so I figured what the heck, let's turn the tables, I asked them to be in a picture with me....
