[Leica] IMG: Hello from Pakistan

[spencer at aotera.org (Spencer Cheng)]

My guide drove the wrong way down a one way street in 'Pindi because  
there was a traffic jam. Another guide went whipping around blind  
corners on tiny dirt roads. They are good people in general.

Basic rule was "might is right" on the KKH. It works.

We were cycling up/down the KKH. Once one figures out the  
aforementioned basic rule, it's not bad. Just have to watch out for  
the leftover stone on the road they use to mark traffic accidents in  
lieu of flares or safety triangles. Hitting one of those on a bicycle  
at speed would ruin one's day.

Regards,
Spencer
