Flashbacks from Afghanistan
I can't sleep today. Dunno why. When I close my eyes the movie like a short shots from Afghanistan is coming on the scene.
I do not know why, but it seems that this country and people sticked to my heart like a 30-second glue. I really miss my time there! Afghanistan is first country I had such an intense experience - religion, living conditions, people.
Flashback are somehow like this
Travel
Dubai airport - people sleeping all over on the carpet floor. Looking quite happy.
Bus from Kabul to Mazar-e Sharif - sleeping Mike, his falling head into side, almost falling from the seat - looking extreemly funny. Two afghan youngsters exchanging simles/laughs with me about this situation.
Taxi driver - very keen on if me and Mike are married and have children.
Mazar-e park and annoying kids - forcing them to believe that Mike and I are husband and wife.
Religion
Islam - endless discussions with W. Safi about arranged marriages and rights to have more than 1 wife.
Funny thing W.Safi's mum said.
Beautiful Blue Mosque in Mazar and hundreds ppl around.
Strong family ties, families of my friends.
Our house
Mici - our lovely cat. So happy to know she is not lost any more. Miss her sleeping with me on my bed.
Morning water pumping from well to get shower ... was quite good exercise and way how to wake up.
Riza - playing all the time the same Turkish song from Tarkan.
Naveed - "Svetla, how is it like to be a women?" :)
Mike's new wake-up tool: me. Though not all the time successful.
Our office
Dust - endless cleaning.
Un-dusting the laptops with extremely noisy car vacuum cleaner, Jamshed's special smile when doing it.
Cleaning ladies from Mediothek.
Food
Amdruddin - smiling and not really understanding what I am saying. "Svetla. More, more?" Ladyfingers!
Quabuli - yummy rice with spinach.
Sabhs chai? Thor chai? Sei chai? ... what was the forth one?
Mike's pasta with mushroom-cheese sauce.
....
....
....
and more still on the tape. But i shall really go to bed now. Have to wake up early and make pancakes for my house mates for breakfast. I promised. And also need to get ready for a trip to Chester.
