Blake's favorite was the Border Crossing Emporium - did not stop there but did wonder what they were selling. Arpana's favorite was the one indicating exchanging Pakistani currency

The Ceremony, Wagha Border
The ceremony - Men line up, march down the street towards the border crossing India and Pakistan, gates open, the men shake hands, and lower the flags simultaneously, fold them up military style and walk away as the gates close for yet another evening, only to reopen the next morning for a similar, flag hoisting ceremony.

Jallianwala Baug, Amritsar (May 2010)
This park is the site of the great tragedy when British soldiers opened fire on innocent families gathered to hear a speech. A very emotional place! The last picture is of the entrance where General Dyer attempted to get in the tanks but was unable to do so. You may remember the scene portrayed in the movie "Gandhi."
