Town centre

Favorite thing: In the town centre of Gilgit, I saw many shops selling all kinds of products mostly for daily use and for tourists. I bought a Hunza cap and a long sleeves shirt. In the shop I asked the boss whether they have the turban, the turban that I saw in Lahore near India. The boss when he heard I mentioned the word 'India', his face switched to another look and said " no India, no India...nothing is from India..."

Street scene

Favorite thing: Yes this is a Gilgit street scene, they are not doing anything special, they just do the usual things, but I thought they did something so special and took the photo. The scene is somewhere in town centre, they are actually peoples in the market probably selling some foods.

Favorite thing: Sitting on Akhtar's jeep, I can relax, very relax without much thinking, I just take photos. This view is somewhere in Gilgit town, I can see the town is surrounded by the mountains, all surrounded, its a big valley on high altitude.

Favorite thing: Jinnah bridge is another bridge with a sign 'no photos', I saw it hung on there when I want to take more photos, Akhthar said "don't take photos" this time. So I don't understand him, why no photos, why take photos?

Jinnah bridge

l_joo 2855 reviews

Favorite thing: Jinnah bridge is another bridge, is not the suspension bridge. Jinnah is Cina or China if I am not mistaken, I heard it from a local Pakistani. So Jinnah bridge is Cina Bridge, a bridge built by the Chinese.

Watching this way

Favorite thing: Watching this way is a way I believe is a better way to watch at this Suspension bridge, you don't have to watch this way, but I suggest you watch this way because I believe this is the way. I know I am talking rubbish, but I enjoy it.

Favorite thing: After watching Akhtar's jeep, now take some time to watch Joo posing on the bridge, this pose is nothing special, not my usual over exciting pose, very normal decent instead. Standing on the bridge is memorable, don't miss it.

Waiting

Favorite thing: You can't just cross the Suspension bridge, you have to wait for cars coming from the other side already passed by, only then you can drive across it. Picture is a car waiting patiently beside the road.

Entering the bridge

l_joo 2855 reviews

Favorite thing: Now I am taking the photo from Akhtar's jeep, the vehicle is very convenience to get out, the window is just a plastic sheet that can roll up. Akhtar wants us to get down the jeep to walk across the bridge and he is waiting for us over there.
