Jamshid’s House →. April 8, 2011 · 3:31 pm. Its been a while. Lately, I have been struggling with communicated with friends back home. The question is always “What’s going on with you these days? For example, picking up medicine. I go to one of the hundreds of random pharmacies and I negotiate the price for deworming medicine after I spend 5 minutes trying to figure out the word for “worm” in Dari. Don’t forget to hop over the ditch filled with trash and sewage. A few days ago I mentioned going to the AT...

Hot Time, Summer in the City. September 29, 2011 · 12:03 pm. I just got back from a funeral. Shwibe our house Choakidor (more on choakidors another time, the job deserves its own post), had just returned from picking up dinner. He dropped off the bags of Kabuli Palau and Kebob and told me “my father is very sick, I need to go.” That was last night. A bit later, Curt, my landlord/boss/roommate walked in and said “Shwibe’s father just died.”. We sat on the couches, we prayed to God, asked him to bless the ...

Hot Time, Summer in the City →. June 16, 2011 · 5:03 am. A Primeval Night in Kabul. I was just drifting off when all the sudden I hear chants of “Allah Akhbar” growing louder. I realize a group of men are chanting, and walking down the street in front of my house. My heart stopped, is this the night I make a break for it? They pass right in front of my house and countinue walking down the road. I drift back off into an uneasy sleep. Hot Time, Summer in the City →. One response to “.

Its been a while. A Primeval Night in Kabul →. June 14, 2011 · 3:53 am. So I go over to Jamshid’s house, Jamshid pulls through the gate and his son is sitting on the porch waiting for him. Yammo yells “BABA! I start talking Jamshid’s father through the manual. I skim over the Do’s and Don’ts on the first page. In the back of my mind I am furious.
