Greetings from Afghanistan Blog by susanhall

http://www.greetingsfromafghanistan.blogspot.com

I’ve been to Afghanistan twice. Once in 2005, once in 2007. First time with Global Exchange. The second time with NGO Afghans4Tomorrow. Bring a camera. Bring a polaroid and give away photos. Get a local guide. Learn a few phrases in Dari. Take a taxi. Visit Chicken Street. Eat at a local kabab stand. Afghan hospitality is second to none. Don’t isolate yourself from the local population by staying behind the walls of an NGO or embassy.

I remember in by Goldengurl04

The 1960’s. I was still a preschooler up to second grade. The caravans used to come down from the mountains and we would pay a little bit of money to ride the camels up and down the street.

But my best and scariest memories came from when I wandered away from our house and got lost. I was about 5 years old. A very nice Afghan man found me wandering and put me up on his shoulders so I could find my way home. I got in trouble when I got home, but I was just SO embarrassed because my mother was rude to the man. I sat up in my room and ate grapes and cried.

I was here shortly after 9/11. Here I felt like I did something. Barren and dry, I liked it anyway. I was stationed on Kandahar Airport and saw so much beauty in the night sky I cried. The land was peaceful even if the people were not always.

Well, I haven’t gone just yet but my mum was there about two months ago now visiting her friend and travelling around a little bit and just wow, I kind of knew it before but this trip just totally confirmed that my mother is one of the most awesome people I know. Her photos and experiences of this torn but beautiful country are just wonderful, and I can’t wait until it’s my turn.
