You can get a seat in a bus at the border post. The trip will take about three hours on a newly sealed road right into Herat city. Most likely the bus will leave you just to the east of the main crossroads in the city but ask around and people will be willing to help orient you.

Favorite thing: INTERNATIONAL Conference, Forum, Seminar and Summit talk about to forbid and to eliminate of utilisation on Land Mines....They talk, talk, talk, talk, quiet and gone to sleep. Just havoc on the cup of coffe.AMONGST them act like a GOD, ask others to do this do that, don't do this don't that..BUT...the talker still moving zig zaging. World & World the drama will never end until Dooms Day.

LAND Mine or Boby Trap are every where outside of the city. Former Russian Army planted the whole villages with land mine. The Boby Traps came with various scale and appearances. Some look like a toys and other look like Amry Ration pack. Burn off the village by NAPLM Bomb is common. Futher brutal act is pouring NITRATE and other poison into drinking well.

Favorite thing: PHOTO : Road Heading To West, Next To IRAN.
By the day that I'm realise spending enough time in Afghanistan.....that the time to move out to the next destination IRAN ( Parsi in the ancient time ).
Coincidence meeting very nice English man. He is SEASON traveller. Formerly Hitch Hicker and Backpacker, ask him which place on the earth that he never been. May be Communist Bloc, that time relationship very very sour....nearly happened Nasty War instead Cold War....due to *Cape Of Pig *, where all Balistic Missiles pointing to strategic locations on the both side.
Fondest memory: John is doing Antiques Business. With Ford Van, he move from Europe to Asia Minor ( Afghanistan, Iran & Turkey ). Coming down from Europe, he will ferry Backpackers with certain fare he charge to them. On the way home this time, he offer me a ride with US $25.00 from Herat to Iran and stop over at Meshad ( IRAN Holy City ). His offer is hardly to refuse.

Favorite thing: PHOTO : Afghan's Ladies In *Chadoor*. Photo by courtesy Of Mr. Luke Powell.
After TALIBAN Group taking over Afghanistan, women are compulsory to wear Chadoor whenever left home. Exception for girls below of 9 years old. The long front cover serve the purpose while eating in the public ( Restaurant ) and to feed
the baby ( Brest feeding ).
This way is nice for lady. The EXPENSIVE STUFF must be covered. High value Germs never simply put it at the road site, either on the head as a crown or on the neck as a necklece. Similar to lady...they are more valueble then any stuff, must be WELL KEPT.
