Truck Tape

... Is a bit more special than it sounds if we are talking Pakistani trucks. Out there truck owners lavish vast sums on the decoration of their chariots before they are deemed worthy of the road. In the image below we see a modest example crawling its way up the Karakoram Highway (from a scan of a postcard bought in Lahore). A principal element in the truck decorator's pallet is special reflective tape covered in cut-out designs. In a previous trip to Pakistan I bought a roll of this tape and put it on my bike, it has lasted pretty well over the past couple of years, so I think I might start to import the tape and sell it under Hindu Kush.
