Salaam, Kabul

Well, it's likely no surprise that we've arrived safely and are busily settling in. After a night in Dubai, our Safi airways flight arrived a bit late into Kabul but still early enough to get the first impressions during daylight.

I have some photos from Dubai but one lone photo of Kabul. When I get a day off, I'll post and share them. Yes, they let us sleep in and didn't make us work the day after we arrived (9.5 hour time difference causes some jet lag) but we've been REALLY busy since then.

The work load is just enormous, like waves that unrelentingly crash over you. My office-mates (well, the Americans) generally work 7 days a week though my supervisor will start strongly encouraging a 6 day work week once the transfer period is over and we're fully staffed. Either way, conditions are pretty comfortable for Afghanistan, particularly when you compare it with the busier, more crowded civilian and military outposts in the field.

Jet lag catching up with me now...zzzzzzz....
