Nice pics.

Hey, while you were in Afghanistan you didn't happen to see a fat
Australian sailing on a boat did ya?

Again, thanks. In terms of foreigners, all I saw were NATO ISAF, UN,
journos and embassy staff!

Can you visit Afghanistan as a tourist? Alone or in a tour?

If you have to ask: don't go.

You can visit as a tourist and travel on your lonesome. You need to
supply a letter to the Afghan embassy along with your visa
application form explaining why you are going. Straightforward.

valuable. Also look he

Kulvinder, if I dare make an on-topic comment, I enjoyed looking at your
pictures. Because of mobility issues, traveling is not a part of my life
nowadays, but I especially enjoy seeing well-done photos of places I
will never see.

Allen, Walter, thanks. I do put significant effort into the
photography and getting them online. I've learned many thinks reading
these newsgroups over the years so I like to think that I have also
contributed positively for others enjoyment and knowledge.
