Afghanistan Awaits

I'm flying to Kabul in the next few days, and if all goes well I should be working there on and off for a long time to come. I've been sat twiddling my thumbs at home for a long time now, it's good to actually be going back to honest employment.

The nature of my job dictates that I can't and won't say a lot about it on the blog, but I still can report on what I see and hear away from my work, hopefully I will get a chance to see much of this supposedly beautiful country. I will post as many pictures as security and safety dictates.

I've been meaning to visit Afghanistan for a very long time now, it was one of the countries I wanted to include in a possible trek along the ancient Silk Road, having already travelled the length of China from Shanghai to Kashgar by bus and train, but now I'm going not as a traveller but an expat worker. It is still exciting though and should be a great experience. Watch this space.

Good luck and keep your head down. I look forward to you photos, my Father was briefly in Afghanistan in '44 and raved about its mysterious beauty.
