Still in pakistan. We all got food poisioning yesterday and were as sick as dogs. The germs are much more dangerous than the taliban here.

We climbed the mountain behind the city which was a nice break. it's 40 degrees on a cool day, and between the heat, the terror threat and the food, we don't get out much.

We had dinner with the interior minister Malik who assured us everything is under control, ate at an interesting restaurant, got a roadside shave (50 cents) and found something interesting growning by the roadside.

Back to beijing in about a week
