Atari Travel Guide

I LOVED IT HERE!  Atari is home to the border between India and Pakistan, and hence the border ceremony.  Thousands (maybe not thousands but almost) pack into the grandstands on both sides of the border and try to out-patiotic-ise each other, with chants of Hinustan etc.  The freakishly tall-slim-flexible guards goose stomp their patriotic bottoms off!  It's a face off, of the most friendly and uplifting variety.  Ignor the touristy side of it if you're one of these annoying travellers whose nose is so far up in the air of so called 'authenticity' (urgh - you lot annoy everyone!) this is fun.  Grab a shared taxi from the outskirts of Amritsar and once you get there grab a seat at the front of one of the grandstands to ensure a good view of the guards' scowls.
