Recently, I had an opportunity to Visit Kabul Afghanistan and the headquarters for US Forces in Afghanistan. It was an interesting experience. The city resembled cities that I visited in Northern India. Lots of people on the roads, traffic, and animals crossing the street. The buildings are not in great condition. Most of the houses and structures resemble those of other third world or underdeveloped countries that I have visited in Africa and India. Most people are very poor and live on a few dollars per day.
Kabul is the capital and largest city of Afghanistan, located in the Kabul Province. The population of Kabul metropolitan area is 2.8 million people.
Kabul is about 3,500 years old (looks like it :)), many empires have long fought over the city for its strategic location along the trade routes of South and Central Asia.
Public and private schools in the city reopened since 2002 after they were shut down or destroyed from the fighting in the 1980s to the late 1990s. Boys and girls are strongly encouraged to attend schools but many more schools are needed not only in Kabul but throughout the country.
One day maybe Kabul will be a major tourist attraction, however, I would not recommend it for now. Visit Paris, New York, Lake Charles, LA, or London for the time being.
Peace, Love, and Happiness.

Wow was the traffic similiar to the traffic in Panama? What a wonderful day it will be when Kabul will be a major tourist attraction. For now I think Paris, London, or Lake Charles will do just fine. Your advice is duly noted, lol...
Thanks yes the traffic is much worse than Panama, and the potential for suicide bombers can make 20 minutes feel like a week.
NICE PICTURE OF YOU IN KABUL. STAY STRONG. STILL PRAYING FOR YOU. LOVE MOM
