Punjab


My first city in Punjab was the big market of Multan, this is a very nice, but exhausting city. My two first visit to hotels weren't succesful, so they're full, but the third was the right one, not a really good room, but for just 200 Rupees it was very OK. Straight from there, and after waiting for more than 4 hours at train station, due to a delay, I arrived to the wonderful city of Lahore. As Lonely Planet recommended, I went to Regale INN Internet Guest house, this place is really clean and cheap, despite of dormitory rooms, they only accept foreigners guest, it means that they keep dirty away... There I met Ricardo from Argentina, really nice guy, but he was going to China, and I went to India, so we couldn't travel together, at least we had a nice time going to Lahore's Food Street. I was tired of Lahore's pollution, and I went to Wagah, the boder, this is an interesting place, all soldiers are very kind. So in just few meters I arrived to India! I though that Pakistan was India already, but definetly it's different, here people just think about money, when they look at you, the just see Euro walking, despite than Pakistan is poorer, it doesn't happen there... As I arrived in afternoon I had to wait almost four hours to see the closing ceremony, despite everyone told me it was OK, I took a CicloRickcshaw to Attari town, and from there a bus to Amristar. When I arrived to Amristar the first thing I did was buying an India SIM Card, and at Telecom shop my arrival was a kind of a Party! I must to say that Sikh people are different to the rest of indians, they're much serious but you can trust (in the most of times) with them.


Then I was hosted at wonderful Golden Temple
