This is the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, it was completed in 1673 and is capable of accommodating over 55,000 worshipers. Apparently when it was finished the Emperor (I think that's who it was, but could be wrong) had the hands cut of the stone masons who built it, so there wouldn't be another mosque like it!!! Nice way of saying thanks for building it isn't it!
Loved the way they painted their trucks over there. So bright and colourful ... wondered if this was the Pakistan way of scrapbooking (haha)
Elephant transporter
Wouldn't see this back in New Zealand!
This was in Karachi ... it's a new building and you wouldn't be able to guess what at the bottom part of it! An ice skating rink ... of all things. Had a chuckle at that :-) Didn't expect to hear of that over there.
