Pakistan Monument, Islamabad, Pakistan.

I’m going to put up the back view too because it looks pretty cool. 

Just a little bit of what I’ve been up to.

Is there a hand signal for “gotcha prick?”

Minar-e Pakistan, Lahore, Pakistan.

Built in memory to the Pakistan Resolution. About as tall as my dorm was last year. 200 feet or so.

Lahore Fort, Lahore, Pakistan.

Another huge place. This is one of the many courtyards, more info and pictures when I’m back home.

The best hospital in Lahore… Possibly… Err… Maybe…

Shalimar Gardens. Lahore, Pakistan.
