l_joo Says: This photo shows the grandeur of nature yet magnificence of the great Karakoram. This is one of the best taken photos in this trip and also a representational one.
l_joo Says: Not much to tell but just use your eyes to watch this landscape. An activity of this kind, we name it Landscape Watching.
This photo shows you a direction to hotel and foods but no restaurants yet. All hotels and guesthouses provide foods for tourists inside their own canteen but none I saw any restaurants. I'm picky tourist, I eat whatever they cook for me. If you want to eat foods only up to your taste, feel free to bring your own cooking set to make your own dish.

You should know we have no nightlife in Pasu but don't worry. You can snap as many photos as you can while the sun still shines and then you can review them when the night comes. For this photo, I use my left hand to snap and then I look at it at night as nightlife activity. I really enjoy it, no joke.

l_joo Says: This is one small part of the long Karakoram Highway that I uploaded for VT page readers. A roadsign show us how steep the condition is in some part of the road.
l_joo Says: To hitchhike in Pasu is so easy. All vehicles will stop at least to talk to you even they couldn't help you, they just friendly in this remote village town. I hitchhike a mini van to get myself to Sost by paying 30Rs for the driver. So nice so friendly.
Shopping in Pasu is the best thing you can do and the shop is this one in picture, the only shop still open for business. This shop open only half day because too many customers around. I was perhaps the only customers that day to by a Coke from them. Why I choose Coke? You must be there by yourself to find out why. If you enlarge the photo, you can see obviously, it has a self promotion slogan written nicely on right side of the photo "Stop enjoy Coca-Cola".

l_joo Says: If a suspension bridge is a danger then we put it under a warning tip because it was danger but why danger has to relate to warning. Things must go this way that a danger must follow by a warning, therefore it belong to a warning and danger tip.
l_joo Says: I called this a Hedgehog plant because it looks so similar to a hedgehog. It is a grass like ground vegetation fully emphasize on those needles. Be careful when you walk, in Pasu. Watch before you step.
Yes, not all suspension bridge passable. If you look at this photo, it has two bridge but only one is passable. The half broken one is a big trap.

Luggage and bags: I know many tourists, especially those who came in big group or with family. They just go anywhere they like and then they just pluck any flowers they want to pack with them to bring home.

To watch these villagers, I must walk into their village to be able to look at them. There were so many households in Pasu villages. Some foreign tourists come here to stay with them, some even donate money to build schools or pay for their study in university. I met a youngman who asked me to support him in his study at the university but I told him that I couldn't afford because I couldn't even support myself in U in my country.
