Peshawar and Lahore have to be common border towns, noisy and crowded, and have been terribly hot and humid. But beyond all these similarities between them, the people, architecture and lifestyle. 
Peshawar Pakistan that Afghanistan is more. The population speaks Pashto, many Afghan refugees have found shelter in 30 years. It the city of all trades. Markets are the most incredible, there is everything from computers and phones stolen from Kalachnikofs galore but also of opium and heroin. All these places are part of sightseeing in the city but since the events are the Red Mosque, the army banned the visits. The tension is evident in Peshawar, the Pakistani advise avoiding the men in green turbans, the police took to the streets and watching the tourists. In Peshawar, Islam is much more rigid than in the north, there is almost no woman in the streets. 
Tourists are covered from head to foot to avoid the object of all eyes.
The discussions with the Pakistani can quickly divert to the religion. Their liver is simple and profound. Here, there is little room for the exchange on this subject as on that of women.
The streets and bazaars of Peshawar are extremely lively and colorful, the welcome is always so nice.

It was over 40 degrees even at night. We were sitting in the midst of a multitude of men in colorful turbans, smoke hashish pervaded the air. Join the movement of people in person. Men we served with rice and fresh mangoes, others sprayed the air with rose water. Two musicians were beating their drum rhythms with more and faster, more men turned themselves in to the rhythms of the music, eyes rolled back in full trance. The night of Sufi of Lahore!
Lahore, India is already the inhabitants are Punjabi, dark skin and black hair, like the Indians. Women are dressed in colorful saris. There is no rule at all the same atmosphere as Pashawar despite the presence of many officers. More polluted than bottled and Peshawar, more populated downtown is full of homeless night sleeping on the ground. Lahore but also has some architectural wonders like the Grand Mosque Badshahi Masjid, chief
lumber elegance. The city disappears under colonniale overcrowding and gardens have lost their glory, but it retains a certain charm. The modern city developed in the image of cities without moderm western charm with its international shops and Westernized population.

as journalists or volunteers returning from Afganistan their adventures or the Belgian thirty years. He was in the flight from Kathmandu to Delhi was hijacked for nearly 10 days in 99, and every day one of the hijackers was pointing his gun on his forehead and said "you'll be the first." Since then, he travels by bicycle without ever stopping, catching all the diseases of the earth, strange life ...
I have happy memories of this beautiful country with magnificent mountains and the amazing hospitality of the Pakistani clichés submitted by our televisions.
I leave the political crisis in Pakistan with a deep concern for the future of this country. As in all countries with a high degree corruption and social inequality accompanied by a quasi-totalitarian regime, Islam became the refuge of popular protest.
