whywanderlost asked: I was in Kabul for ten days in March 2010, and because we were there for such a short time our group had relative freedom to move around the city then. However, I've been hearing that security has been deteriorating since then to the point where westerners go out even less than they did when I was there.

Total Lunar Eclipse
The moon just went off. Sitting on the roof. People firing AK47s into the sky on the horizon. Processions of people chanting in the streets. Amazing.

Anonymous asked: Hey there. I have a question about the women in Kabul. Are they supposed to wear the hijab headscarf? How are they being treated by others and how do they treat you? Are they hot or not? Thanks and regards!
