a local truck carrying goods - they are always "well dressed"
madina hotel - 100 rupees per dorm bed (=sgd 2.50)
this is me in headscarf... gilgit is the lower of hunza area. weather was not as good as karimabad and there were very few women on the streets! (i think i only saw less than 10 during the night time). we stayed in Madina Hotel, where many backpackers stay.
we heard that the road from here to Islamabad had been closed for many days bcos of the poor road condition. but when we enquire at the ticket office, they said that the road will be open the next day so we quickly bought the tickets and stayed in the hotel for only one night. on the day of our departure to the bus terminal, there was a street protest outside our hotel and the boss told his brother to send us (sk and i, xiaohua and song) to the terminal. that was really nice!
