Roshan Wireless Telephones

Well, I dished out the money for a SIM card and now I have a mobile phone. My number is 079 23 4442. I'm not entirely clear on the numbers you have to dial first, i.e. 011 - country code - my phone number (including the 0 or not?), but I am sure you can figure it out on the web. Probably best to call during lunchtime for you guys, which is around bed-time for me. 12 -2 ish.

Yay!

I am really liking it here. I am so psyched to be involved in any way with what people are doing here. It's amazing.

Tonight I am going out to dinner with Miho and a couple of other women from the office. I am still very tired, but I am eager to make friends.

The office is in the bombed out part of town, from the civil war, not the Taliban war. There are mountains all around the city, dotted with all of these little cinderblock dwellings that so many Afghans call home. You see people on bikes with their veils blowing behind them in the wind, and women in full burqa like ghosts gliding on the dusty streets. It's very very poor. Traffic is totally disordered, cyclists and pedestrians and taxis and a mish-mash of cars (some with steering wheels on the right and some on the left) all pushing against each other trying to beat out the competition. I tried taking some pictures discreetly out the window of the car on my way home today, but I was too discreet and they didn't come out with anything but the interior of the car at funky angles. Oh, well.

Okay. I am going to my room to rest and freshen before dinner. Love to everyone.
