A quiet road, doesn't
quite capture the chaos!
Driving in Islamabad would be a scary exper ience.
In my time in Islamabad I just caught taxis and
public transport but on the roads it seems to be a
free-for-all! Our trekking company's owner remarked
that once and trekker had asked "which side of the
road they drive on in Pakistan?" to which he replied
"they drive on the left................and on the
right and straight down the middle!". The street
scenes are great with a mixture of the beautifully
decorated buses with blaring horns playing tunes to
the black and yellow suzuki taxis- with their proud
owners, to expensive Mercedes and bicycles, carts
and pedestrians all thrown into the bargain! If you
have to drive I guess you just have to keep your
road sense, and sense of humour!
