Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

HELP!!
 
I have bitten off more than I can chew. I said I would help my friend's eleven year old with the following question.
 
We have to have a think of a wise question for our project and mine is: What legends of Afghanistan have changed the the Afghans live today?
 
So far I have brain ache and little else. Surely Yellow Fever has an Afghanistan legends expert?????

Been through quite a lot of stuff. Some of it is pretty average. I even paid for some stuff, last week, from an educational database. It was pretty sparse. I am guessing that some of the content in your youtube link is of more value.
 
 
 
 
The name in that name pops up everywhere. It may do.

Afghan hounds, however, are stupid. And I like dogs.
I like tautologies because I like them.

Interesting. I know Rumi is Persian but always associate him with Iranian friends in London. I had not thought if him in his Afghan context. He was born in Balkh up near Mazar-e Sharif so , of course, that makes him Afghan. Ta!!

I was walking down the road when I saw an Afghan bloke standing on a fifth floor balcony shaking a carpet.
I shouted up to him, "What's up Abdul, won't it f**king start?"
