    2 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

    Favorite thing: I have to take more photos of the Suspension bridge, it looks beautiful to me and to many peoples. I know it doesn't impress so much in small picture here but in actual, you are thinking the same like me.

    Entering the bridge

    by l_joo Updated May 24, 2005 2924 reviews

    2 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

    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.

    In early morning

    by l_joo Updated May 20, 2005 2924 reviews

    2 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

    Favorite thing: Now the sun is rising at 7.30am somewhere before Gilgit, still looking at the mountains surrounding in front, still very exciting but the bus driver won't stop, gotta wait but looking. The was an Afghan guy sitting behind me with legs up to my head, I don't know what's wrong with his behavior but let him do it.

    School

    by l_joo Updated May 20, 2005 2924 reviews

    Favorite thing: There's a school or probably many schools, what I saw is a big grass field with some kids playing, what else, cricket. Everybody is a cricket champion in Pakistan or maybe hockey but I saw mostly hockey and the scenery of playing is like this, Inshallah (correct?) Anyway Inshallah.

    Airport

    by l_joo Updated May 20, 2005 2924 reviews

    2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

    Favorite thing: They said this is an airport, I went to have a look, yes is an airport, the location is right at the town centre but I did not see any planes. The road here is very easy to explore, there are not many roads actually, you can walk in one day for all. From airport to town centre is about 20 seconds if you ask me.

    Suah Koo

    by l_joo Updated May 20, 2005 2924 reviews

    Favorite thing: I am a super 'Suah Koo' when I saw this suspension thing, I just stare, don't know, just stare at it and also at the river down there some hundred meters deep down, the wind blows of course, you can hear the voice coming from the thing, exciting and of course beautiful.

    Akhtar quarreling

    by l_joo Updated May 20, 2005 2924 reviews

    Favorite thing: Our day guide Akhtar is seen here quarrelling with the 'stupid' old man, that's claimed by Akhtar. He said this old man is stupid, now hardly we have tourists come here and want to take photos to promote Gilgit to the world and this old man is trying to stop this, this old man is stupid, Akhtar said angrilym very very angry. Later we found out that the suspension thing actually has a 'No Photo' rule.

    Suspension bridge

    by l_joo Updated May 20, 2005 2924 reviews

    Favorite thing: Suspension bridge is rare in any countries, and for a black hole like this one is first time to me, I don't know how they built this, but I think it was built by Chinese (not sure yet). Cool, the thing is just cool, this way middle of the air and have to go through a dark tunnel.

    2 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

    Favorite thing: This is the Gilgit town centre, a round about with background mountains in layers, damn, what a place to be, like heaven, just looking around is already so beautiful, I did not go to shopping, I prefer to look at wide open places like this, insanely beautiful.

    The road

    by l_joo Updated May 20, 2005 2924 reviews

    2 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

    Favorite thing: Now here is probably the biggest sign so far on the entire Karakoram Highway, take a look closely. This location is still unclear, I can't provide details, but was definitely breathtaking, out of this world feel.
