going from Punjab to Punjab

So, its 1251 am... many hours since a decent sleep... the 1910-945 overnight train journey from Dehra-Dun to Amritsar was apparently there in great time... ONLY an hour + late! Having forgotten its Sunday and that everyone and their mother-in-law were heading to the Golden Temple and that it would take me more than three hours just to get inside the main hall... compounded by the massive lack-of-chai-since-yesterday headache... I headed straight for the langar hall and chowed down... followed by quick, cold refreshing dip in the main sarovar. A lil' bit o' haggling later and I was off for my first Indo-Pak border crossing... and cool it was. First was the lecture that I couldn't take any Indian rupees across... which caused me to change SOME of my Indian rupees to Pakistani ones, at what I found out was a worse rate than the one offered across the border! Luckily, I know better than to trust the local Indian vendors (this'll sound quite harsh unless you've traveled here!). Immigration and customs on the Indian side introduced me to a Japanese fellow from Osaka who, on a Canadian Louis Garneau mountain bike, was cycling from Shanghai to atleast Iran. :) Who knows... I might join 'im! :) Anyhoo... the Pak side immigration was chilled out as Immigration was done on my behalf, while I sat on a manjaa and my passport and form went inside. Best was when I went for customs (i.e. baggage check) while my bags sat near the manjaa next to the really sweet guy who helped me with Immigration! All done, I went for a cup o' chai at the restaurant before crossing the checkpoint and the same sweet guy found my family friend uncle (who I hadn't met earlier and on whose laptop this is being typed on!). I guess I'm rambling on... but I gotta mention the Wagah border crossing closing ceremony. Totally cool... I'd say atleast 3000 ppl on the Pak side and 5000 on the Indian side... screaming, shouting while watching the border patrol guards trying to "intimidate" each other while closing. Never been to a more fun border than this... show and all!I think the link above even has a video... and the night ended at Lahore's famous FoodStreet for Lahori fish! Its 127am now and haven't slept for way too long... before I become incoherent, which I fear it might already be too late... so, like all the courteous ppl I've met sofar in Pakistan sofar, I'll apologize in advance! :)
