Inside Babur Garden with my friend Jake (who loves jumping into the air and tickling a laugh out of kids) on a Friday morning. Already at eight in the morning, afghan families started flocking into the park, with kids, jars of hot tea, gas cookers, containers with meat, and everything else a real afghan needs for a proper picknick. I think it's great that somebody took care of rehabilitating and maintaning this hundreds of years old recreational site, despite the hardship and destruction this city has gone through, and despite all the other things that have to be fixed.
After two years of life in Somaliland and over seven years on and off between Austria, Italy, and East Africa, I am now calling Kabul my home. Moving to a new continent was a big and not easy step for me, but I am glad that I took the courage to leave my cosy nest in East Africa to discover new places and to meet new people. And of course, to start a new blog.
New blog, same objective: convincing all of you that life in places like Kabul is more than just misery, and that places like this are just so much more fascinating than how the media presents them...
