I was so used to public transport having a conductor to collect fares from passengers. Conductor would thump the body of van to alert driver to stop to let passenger off.
When I went to Abbottabad, there were no conductors.
Passenger would knock on the window or the body of Suzuki pick-up, get off themselves walk to the driver to pay the fare.
I was presently surprised. Honesty of people in Abbottabad and in
Soba Sarhad in general was superior to the area I am from.
People were so much nicer and humble and helpful.
One thing though, as I was not used to the higher altitude, I got a VERY severe attack of asthma in the night. Gasping for air, I ran to the window to catch fresh air.
It could be a combination of higher altitude, closed windows on the hotel, colder weather, and possibly the gases from the leaky heating system! that contributed to me getting an asthma attack.
This is a heads up for a new person going to northern areas. Be prepared and take inhalers with you
