Volunteer In India: Attari, Pakistan/India border

There is a nightly "show" at the border of India and Pakistan every night, at Attari. The military forces for both sides do...something...and a huge crowd gathers. When I say they do something, I can't really elaborate on what because I didn't see it. There were too many people, and we were seated on the ground (as opposed to being in a stand). But the crowd watching was great fun, and it was a cool experience.
Manpreet, our Indian gangsta!
Cat and Martina with Mr BP.
Before the event officially begins, you can wait in line to take the Indian flag and run "all the way" to Pakistan with it.
You know how people want to pose with the guards at Buckingham Palace? Well, Meredith got it in her head that she wanted a photo with an Indian soldier, and after numerous rejections, she got her chance! Actually, we all did.

This is what I could see the whole time the show was going on...the backs of heads!
