Kabul, Afghanistan – Image Gallery
Via: Awkward Situationist
Once outlawed by the taliban, balloons are now a common sight in kabul, bringing colour to the city, happiness to the kids, and income for vendors with otherwise limited employment opportunities.

About
I’ve had the good fortune to live in many far-away places; from Brazil to Tokyo, from London to the Middle East.
——–
’04 and ’05 I was working in Amman, Jordan; +ten-hour days, seven days a week, eight straight weeks, followed with twelve days off.
Anywhooo, I jus’ by chance happen to hear the Stones: “Time, time, time is on my side, yes it is”
And THEN I realized, NO it’s NOT; so I QUIT, and ended a thirty-five year career in Construction Management.
Since August of 2005, I’ve been living in Chiang Mai (the Rose of the North), Thailand; a.k.a. the Land of Smiles.
