2007 04 LahoreTrip
Hello Guys,
After two red-eye flights in a row (friday night and saturday night) Ray and I are sitting in the airport about ready to start our third red-eye that will take us to Lahore Pakistan arriving at around 2am in the morning tomorrow.
We had 14 hours in Dubai United Arab Emirates so we decided to see the city. It's an amazing place! We went snowboarding for 2 hours at an indoor ski slope that is the largest in the world. Then we bought traditional arab formal dress and have been struggling to keep it all straight and looking proper. We've been getting quite a few comments on our garb.
I'm exhausted right now, but I've been having fun. This long layover has turned into an unexpected mini-vacation!

We've arrived in Lahore now, and though we're exhausted we're in fine spirits. I'm going to grab my first shower in 45 hours (including 39 hours of travel, and 2 hours of snowboarding). I can hardly wait!
More updates from Lahore after we get a chance to grab some sleep.

We've been interviewing WikiEditors and WikiEngineers for the LahoreOffice. As we interview folks we've been adding them to the wiki. As a treasure hunt, see if you can find the folks who have been most active in working on their new AboutUs pages :-)

Questions from the Onlookers
- Is it quite safe in Lahore?
- Have you learned to say "hello" in Punjabi or Urdu?
