http://saharinkabul.blogspot.com/2007/04/war-movies-fireworks-and-reverse.html
Walking the Walk: 9 Months in Afghanistan. This blog is about my experiences in this "post" conflict region. Wednesday, April 25, 2007. War movies, fireworks and reverse culture shock. Tonight I watched Mrs. Henderson Presents. I’d had a frustrating day at work, and I felt like vegging out to a movie. The movie is about a lot of things, and it is set during WWII. During the movie they were showing brave young men in uniform, air raids on. I can’t help but wonder how much I’ve changed during m...I guess I...

Walking the Walk: 9 Months in Afghanistan: March 2007
http://saharinkabul.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Walking the Walk: 9 Months in Afghanistan. This blog is about my experiences in this "post" conflict region. Friday, March 16, 2007. Overall, it was a very successful event, and I think we're going to start doing it monthly. It was nice to be able to interact with my co-workers in a more personal way. I've had a very difficult time bridging that gap with most of them, even though I've been here for six months now. I can see I have a lot to learn from them. Thursday, March 08, 2007.

Walking the Walk: 9 Months in Afghanistan: Little Earthquakes
http://saharinkabul.blogspot.com/2007/04/little-earthquakes.html
Walking the Walk: 9 Months in Afghanistan. This blog is about my experiences in this "post" conflict region. Tuesday, April 03, 2007. Me and the Kuwaiti family at the airport. Well, maybe not so little, but relatively minor in Kabul. I guess it was a 6.2 on the richter scale in Badakshan (northern Afghanistan) but in Kabul the ground only shook for about 2 minutes. Long enough for everyone to run out of the buildings and watch the satellite dish tremor. Then it was back to work as usual. Body on the Line.

Walking the Walk: 9 Months in Afghanistan. This blog is about my experiences in this "post" conflict region. Saturday, May 26, 2007. People keep asking me what my plan is once I return home - I swear it feels like I'm finishing undergrad again. And yet, it feels even more lame now than then to say - I don't know. I really, honestly have no idea what comes next. In some ways it is very liberating, and in others absolutely terrifying. Wednesday, May 16, 2007. Saturday, May 05, 2007. Blue mosque at sunset.

Walking the Walk: 9 Months in Afghanistan. This blog is about my experiences in this "post" conflict region. Tuesday, November 28, 2006. Life in the provinces. Even my Afghan co-workers, who are highly educated and make good salaries, live without electricity, heat (other than wood stoves) and running water. Now I'm sitting in my (relatively) warm room with my Internet. Connection, thinking about how grateful I am for the privileges. Monday, November 27, 2006. A Carpet Bazaar and the Omar Mine Museum.
