We suggest that your use MobiLink when in Pakistan. Works for us in most cases using GSM phones. However, if you have issues, be prepared to switch mobile networks.

PodAsia suggestions for things to do include: Visit to the flag lowering ceremony at Wagha Border. Which is an impressive and exciting ceremony that takes place every day between the Pakistan-India border at Wagha which is 29km from Lahore. The ceremony begins with the handshake of the Captains of the two countries followed by fierce determination to upstage and out-march the soldiers of the other country. If you are a foreigner, make sure your get there a little early and sit on the front rows of the assembly area. Don’t be afraid to ask to sit there; highly worth it. Men on the right, women on the left - take your camera!

PAYNELESS MEDICAL ADVISE:. Yes, Dr Larry Payne MD is back and dispenses to PodAsia travellers all important health and travel tips to be and stay healthy wherever you are on the road. This week, the good Doctor tells us about Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) affects mainly the veins in the lower leg and the thigh. It involves the formation of a clot (thrombus) in the larger veins of the area. This clot may interfere with circulation, and it may break off and travel through the blood stream (embolize). A resulting embolus can lodge in the brain, lungs, heart, or other area, causing severe damage to that organ or, at worse, death.

This week we feature the music of Matthew Ebel. You can download from the podsafe music network.
