04.07.2004; In Karachi, at the Indian Ocean… back

Islamabad is the official capital of Pakistan. In contrast to that is Karachi the secret capital, because of its location at the Indian Ocean it is Pakistan’s gate to the world. Half the day the boys were lying on the beach in the sun. They have a good time with beer, mango and camels, instead of thinking about their time plan. Holgi is already getting ready to celebrate…

Besides going to the beach the boys did actually see some sights, before they watched the soccer EM final in the depth of Asia. Soccer isn’t that popular in Pakistan. They are rather interested in Hockey or Polo. ..
The winner was a country, of which the Pakistani probably didn’t even know that they had a soccer team. Well you always learn something new. That’s the same thing in Germany…
