Video footage of Peshawar outskirts

I commandeered one of the computers here at the Mustafa last night and uploaded a short video clip off my camera. It took a few hours to upload, overnight while the "internet cafe" was closed, for what would normally take a few minutes. On top of that, I don't even know if it works. I have no reasonable way to check it here, so I'll just cross my fingers and post the link:


Outskirts of Peshawar

I hope it's viewable. The download is approximately 20 megs. It's footage shot from the side of the taxi on my way to the border with my taxi driver and the Khyber Rifles gunman/guard. (As an aside, I didn't get a picture of me with my gunman in front of the "No Foreigners Allowed Beyond This Point" sign. Shucks.) I really want to walk through Khyber Bazaar with the camera and take similar footage. It's about ten times more dense than this, with little side alleys that're barely wide enough for two people to walk shoulder to shoulder.

It works, it has sound, and it is of decent picture quality considering.

Also, I see what you mean by the brightly coloured buses. And seeing random multinationals' logos is a bit odd, though expected I suppose.

That Shell station looks just like the ones here.

Those rainbow buses look like an adventure. They remind me of matatus.
