This was it. It went too fast. As always. But I guess how it would always be. If there would have been more time, the urge to fill it with things would be the same. So I should be satisfied. Thank You to everyone that pulled strings for connecting me with good people and doing an effort to make this … Read More

My Kabul postings are slowly coming to an end. I am returning back to my so called reality. However, if you feel like making some reads on your own, this is a list of what books I read before leaving for Kabul. The classic first read was the Loney Planet Afghanistan Travel guide.

Leaving

Someone that likes bread and leeks, or scallions, have come to the right place in Afghanistan. ————————– When I come home to Berlin I will bake a bread with leek crust.
