Went out this afternoon, first to a couple of shops – including a new local athleisure brand which had some nice things and even manufactures locally. I will probably get an exercise top or two, and perhaps a light cotton top to wear under my rain jacket. Then to a cafe which had ok coffee but miles better than anything else I’ve had in Lahore. It was a nice unpretentious fika-ish place in a green bit of Gulberg and even had some outdoor seating. The staff was a bit rubbish – there were two of us at coffee and she rung up four coffees and then tried to blame us for it. Still curious to see global trends reaching Lahore amidst these terrible economic times, though it usually takes about a decade (as in this case) where it’s not a cargo cult simulacrum.
