Kebab is to Afghans as fish and chips is to Brits. Afghans wrap their Kebabs using used newspapers. Not clean really but well, that's how they do it in Afghanistan. Better eat it as you buy it.
So what's in store for you :D They sell lamb, beef and chicken kebabs.

Lashkar Gah, the capital city of Helmand Province, is relatively clean and decent looking city considering the area that it is in. Probably one of the reasons for that is because American engineers in the 1950s built modern Lashkar Gah as there headquarters for an irrigation project in the area. The history of this place does go back 1,000 years though. It orginally was a town for soldiers accompanying nobility on their way to a winter capital. Lashkar Gah means "place of soldiers." Today you can still see old castle/mansion ruins along the Helmand river in this city. It is located fairly close to the border with Kandahar province. Around the border of Helmand and Kandahar provinces there is a road that forks off of Highway 1 which will bring you to Lashkar Gah. Leave a Comment

This is a real Oriental market, very exotic for a westerner, in the famous Chicken Street. There they sell everything unimaginable. Drinking chai with the sellers of handicrafts they started to propose me their goods and they were so affective and nice that I finished up buying them a lovely hand made carpet that today I care for like a treasure at home.

there's nothing to do except crossing the country and gaping at landscapes.
perhaps the best thing is the central route, through highlands (passes till 3200 m), from kabul to herat. i did it in 10 days in march (incl 4 days walking - 2 of which were compulsory due to snow ont he pass and no cars). otherwise, you wait for toyota hiace 4x4 in bigger villages that take you to the next locations.
herat has a wonderful blue persian mosque.
mazar i sharif has ali's shrine and bouzkashi tournaments in march. Leave a Comment

Decades of war have created over two million orphans in Afghanistan. If you have an opportunity to visit the orphanages, stop by to visit, . And if you can bring any donations of clothes or school supplies, they are greatly appreciated. The children we visited were divided into a girls class and a boys class. They were all so very happy and eager to learn! Teachers were never short of volunteers willing to answer questions. There are also some very talented artists to be found in the young children. Due to capacity, some only offer half day classes in order to accomodate two sessions of students per day. Leave a Comment
