Gora in Lahore-a Day 21: Practicalities
Posted on January 16, 2012 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
LAHORE, PAKISTAN Lahore is a modern city in every sense of the word. In fact, “modern” in the developing world sense might be even more modern than in the western sense. Lahore has a little bit of everything and is probably about as representative of Pakistan as a city like Washington, DC, is of the [...]

Gora in Lahore-a Day 19: Safety and bragging rights
Posted on January 14, 2012 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
LAHORE, PAKISTAN With Colombian and now Pakistani entry stamps in my passport, I feel like I’ve finally earned some serious travel cred.

Gora in Lahore-a Day 8–Mortimer and me (Lahortimer?)
Posted on January 3, 2012 by Gary BUTTERWORTH

What a large country Hindostan [...]

Gora in Lahore-a Day 5 (pm)–The Traffic
Posted on December 31, 2011 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
LAHORE, PAKISTAN Ya Allah the traffic! You have this mental image of developing world traffic, particularly in Asia. But friends and coworkers have told me time and time again over the years that that’s not Pakistan. Egypt, India…sure. But not Pakistan. I took their word for it. Now that I’m here, people are still telling [...]

Gora in Lahore-a: Day 5 (am)–The Small World Cliché
Posted on December 31, 2011 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
LAHORE, PAKISTAN Aside from pilots, does anyone really like to fly? I read an article a few weeks ago that suggested that going for walks has psychological benefits. The gist was that since the human mind evolved with walking as its only means of transportation, the brain essentially works at a walking pace. By going [...]

Gora in Lahore-a: Day 1, arrival
Posted on December 26, 2011 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
LAHORE, PAKISTAN I’m laying in bed trying to get some sleep, but it’s just not happening. We landed about 4 hours ago at around 2:30am local time, so my first impressions are pretty limited so far. I imagine it will be another 48 hours or so until I get any real feeling for things, but [...]

Posted on September 7, 2008 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
Stratford, NJ, USA Better late than never? Before I head off on my next trip, I thought I should finally find time to post the pictures from my last trip. From July 27-30, I was in Chicago. I mainly went to see a baseball game. But it was my first time in the Windy City, [...]
