An Escapade to Karachi, Pakistan

guess all r waiting anxiously for my updates so here it is...

we departed on 31 Jan 2004 for a short getaway cum meeting the in-laws sessions... gasp! we planned to celebrate Hari Raya Haji over there as well.... departure from Khi will b on 9th feb 2004....

we took thai airways and had a 5 hours boring transit at BKK... thanks to jan who doesnt hv a visa for thailand ... we spent our time sleeping.... eating and surfing the net.....

finally its time for us to board the plane and after like 5 hours later we landed at Jinnah Intl Airport.... jan's bro fetched us from the airport and we went straight home..... it was oredi 2.30am Pak time .... which is about 5.30 Sg time..... the next morning it was Eid in Sg but not over there.... had bfast together wz my inlaws and den we went shopping.... Eid was on Monday and they had the public holiday for 4 days.... why dont we hv it over here ar?? damn shiok.... but the not shiok part is dat the shops were all closed during the holidays .... only restaurants are opened....

Eid was on Monday.... they sacrificed 2 goats and did the slaughering rite there at their home... it was my 1st time seeing it LIVE in action..... and dat afternoon mil cooked nihari.....a special dish which they hv for every hari raya haji.... we had mutton for 1 whole wk and i got sick of it.... now cant even stand the smell of it....

the rest of the days of the holidays were spent visiting their interesting places and visiting.... it was fun... so much food which ive never tasted before.... very delicious indeed.... yours truly was down wz flu and food poisoning but it wasnt dat bad....

they hv a bazaar like shops at Zainab market... i went ga-ga when we were there... felt like buying every single thing coz its damn cheap....and i actually bought 5 bedsheets, 15 shawls (for office colleagues), 2 suits for dad n bro, belt for dad, carpets etc.... oso bought DVDs and PS games..... hmmm.... so many things dat i simply cant ignore....

ive blabbered enuf and time to prove how much we enjoyed our time there..... Click Here
