After couple of days of arrival in Kabul, we finally had a feel of the Afghan culture when we were treated to a dinner with a local band belting out local Afghan songs.

The thing about working late and have not taken dinner early may NOT be a good thing.
Last night we had to stay back to fix an expected error and since we have not taken our dinner, we decided to order our dinner. Forget about Pizza Delivery in Sharjah because here most of the delivery services provide only Indian, Pakistan or Afghan food.… [Click to read the rest] “Extra Order”
