In reply to Joelle. not sure, but know you have to have the permission ahead and can cross at wagah if you have the paperwork... they had a terrorist attack maybe a year ago so you might want to research that well.

In reply to Audrey. Yeah it was almost like a football game! It was so funny to watch especially having not read about it beforehand. I wasn't sure what to expect.

I haven’t been to this part of India so I haven’t seen the ceremony in person, but I remember the first time Sam showed me a video of it…haha, it looked awesome! I love that it’s turned into a bit of a performance and people come to watch and cheer them on from both sides.

Been to the border too! It was so fun :) I was all surrounded by the local school girls who asked if they could hold my hand and hug me. It was really sweet.

And them one of the women on the security check asked for a photo when I went back to grab my water.

In reply to Joella J in Beijing. lol exactly... what happened!? lol and no, they don't do it at every border, just this one. People do cross! But you need a lot of paperwork. actually, when the lines were drawn by the english, it divided farms etc and split families, so some cross often.

that’s really bizarre… Does india do things like that at other borders? I guess its sort of nice that they can do something fun but still it seems strange, especially the snipers on Ghandi… this blog always makes me super curious about India

Ok then…errrm..what? haha I had no idea but that is totally fun and unexpected. They should do that at every border. Does anyone actually ever cross the border there do you think?
