I'd still be interested in seeing some photos of Afghanistan, when you have the chance.
I was re-reading your comments about the bed smell there. Haven't they mastered the technology of building an outhouse yet?

I had a friend who traveled to Egypt over 10 years ago, and he said it was the same there, that it partly killed the visit because the smell was so bad everywhere he and his wife went. Even in central and South America, they have a bad problem with dysentery and other illnesses, because the (lack of) sanitation, to put it gently, is often too close to the water sources they get their drinking water from.


It has to be consolidated somewhere. Inevitably, it's going to smell. It's like a large, open air septic tank.

But yeah, I've taken some pictures. They need to be screened by my security officer first before I unleash them on the world.
