Surreal, but nice.

DHA Mosque

Rickshaw

Karachi International Airport - Small but beautiful


Karachi lived up to its reputation in grand style.

An extended 5 day trip that somehow included bombs going off, a KFC being torched, me nearly getting arrested for violation of the public indecency laws, getting mugged at gunpoint, and on a less-distressing note, setting my engagement date (November 5th) with my sweetheart after a 'Meet the Parents' style meetup. Although this one included her grandparents and a few uncles and aunties thrown in.

I'm back now and the show will continue. Thanks for missing me those who did.

By the way, I've just noticed that for some reason my stats shot up the day I left.

Nearly 1,650 on the 2nd of June, god knows how and why cuz as you can see the usual average is around 150 hits a day. and since then its stayed above 500 hits. Whats going on!? Who are you people? You can leave a message in comments saying hello you know. You don't have to register for it. Don't forget to leave your name though and how you got here.
So, how have y'all been?

Samness - Thanx mate, crazy it woz.

Sarah_A - they used to be about 20 a day in the start! abuot 5 months ago! There must be a way to make money from this!

Dan - finally someone noticed! ha ha its meant to be on guy fawkes night as they have a tradition of firing ak47s (among other fireworks) in the air to celebrate weddings in that place and i might get to try that!

Just hope nobody returns fire or it will all go tits up.

I was here before you were cool;)

Actually I think you can attribute the upsurge in visits to Liverpool. You're pretty high in the search engine rankings for Anfield and Liverpool FC. For some reason I bet that's being searched for a little more these days.

Congrats on the engagment and the impending wedding! To you too henna! (that is ofcourse assuming that it is henna yur snagging for eternity :P)
So it was your presence that invoked all hell to break loose in karachi this time around huh? Good job! ever considered re-creating the IRA... with your penchant for remote destruction you would do wonders for them. Welcome back though man, Not a fan of soccer per se, but yur blog rocks, its like the web edition of FHM. What with the babes of the day and those naughty videos you managed to acquire;) And the gems that Henna keeps coming up with, this is where i come for my dose of alternate reality.
Keep it up.
Cheers.

beknighted - thats the single most undeserved comment / compliment i've ever recieved for this piece of crap. thanks! all this is about is, making a journal of the stuff i find on the web, and tributes to the greatest football club in the world. it helps when others find it interesting too.

As for karachi, i think i just landed right in the middle of the mayhem. i'll post the details when i get a chance.

Adios
