People of all sorts work very hard for the reconstruction... but mostly to survive...In Kabul shops and offices open very early in the morning even 7 or 6 am... and they close late at night 10 or 11 pm !

staying in touch...

Cellular service had begun in Kabul when we were there. AWCC is the local service provider there. However, it did not extend anywhere beyond the city itself (though i believe things have changed now), and so its advisable to have a sat-phone handy if you are tavelling and need to be in touch.The system used there is GSM, though the kind of sim cards that i know were no use there. They seem to use something thats closer in size to a credit card...Also, cybercafes were begining to show up in Kabul. http://www.afghanwireless.com/

Take a tour of Kabul with someone who has lived there for a while, preferably someone who remembers it before it was the shell it is now. It will be fascinating to see through their eyes and will open yours to see what people love about this place. I love this nation, more than i can describe in words, but by far my favourite memory is waking up at 6 am in Kabul and taking a deep breath of the scented air and realising that i was actually there after years of dreaming about it! I miss Afghans, their joy and hope for life and their hospitality, sadly this is so obscured by the harshness and oppression of their lives very few people get to see it.

Nearly 50% young officers and army technicians were trained in the USSR. Economy and development of this country running by USSR representatives....further more in educations, USSR shown their color. To late to look back, I think. The machine of the KGB was already moving in his direction.

Walk around the city. Open your mind. Discover the Afghan culture. Its people. I don't know why life here is so special. Hard to believe, but is magic.
