100. May 2014

Enjoying a beautiful Spring day in Kabul with my good friend, Farid.

• Presidential Elections goes to 2nd Round.
•  It's cold, then hot, then pour raining and thunder storms, then humid, then cold again all in one day.
• The Afghanistan Soccer Team is on a winning streak.
• Business is still slow.
• The kids outside my house are signing the ABC Song.
• Had real frozen yogurt from Cherry Berry in Wazir Akbar Khan.
• Moved back into my newly remodeled old apartment.
• Khurshid is still a mess.
• PAYK is off to a good start.
• Looking forward to working on the Rumi Awards....stay tuned for more.
• Thinking of buying a car....oh wait, I can't drive in Kabul.
• Looking forward to ending the month in Dubai.
• Mom said she misses me :-(
• Made a new friend, reconnected with an old friend and loving my current friends some more.
• Played badminton.
• Spent time with a friend who was on one of my delegations from 12 years ago.
• Ate well - Salmon, Steak, Shorwah-e-Istalifi, Kichri Herati, Pizza from ISAF, Mushroom Ravioli.
• Only watched 6 movies so far.
• Had lunch with one of Ahmad Zahir's best friends - great stories.
• The city is starting to stink - trash and hot weather don't mix well.
• Daydreaming of sitting by the river in Panjshir a lot these days.
• Gun shots heard almost every night but doesn't even make me jump anymore.
• Posting my 100th post on my blog.
• Got a new old TV with a remote that works. - Trust me...this is the highlight of the month.

 Government is still corrupt and inept, beggars are still on the streets, people are still lazy and I still get stared at all the time, but all in all, it's been a good month for Nilufar in Afghanistan.
