Kids next to Darulaman, the palace build at the beginning of of the nineteenth century by King Shah Amanullah Khan. It's all destroyed by now, with ruins turned into a perfect playground for kids from the nearby squatters

Riders on the way Buz-kashi, the national sport of Afghanistan. Its basically throwing a killed goat over a football sized field, until one team manages to get it into the goal. Just like foot ball.

Romantic views at Kabul river

Here they come: competitors in the buz kashi

Kabul is not as bad as the news describe it. Last Friday I got invited by a friend for a guided tour through the city. Though the weather wasn't at its best, the fog added some additional charm to the already captivating views into Kabul's undocumented angles and corners. I wouldn't call it a beautiful city, but Kabul defenitely does have some corners that are worth to pass by and have a closer look at.
