Flag ceremony

Went to a border (with India) to watch the flag lowering ceremony. This is a daily occurance that is a faceoff between Pakistan and India. People watch, cheer, clap, jeer etc as each counrty competes to outshine, outmarch, outsneer the other country. It was a fun occasion which at times felt a bit like being at a WRR wrestling match. There was a lot of posturing, chest puffing, high kicking marching, gun aerobatics and I LOVED IT.
(PS Pakistan won the night I was there, they definitelky put on the best macho display!!)
