Some things I will and won't miss from Afghanistan

Not in order of priority:

Will miss ....
1. Working in a multi-culti (international) environment
2. Speaking German
3. Shocking the military with my "Britishness"
4. The Salary
5. Kabuli Pillau

Won't miss ....
1. Living in an "open prison" environment
2. DFAC "slops" (food from the dining facility)
3. The Kabul pollution in winter
4. Internationals (ISAF) who "THINK they know the Afghan culture"
5. The security everywhere in Kabul (I know it's needed but it's so oppressive)

DFBMBE Does the 'Stan

Well in a nutshell I am a Brit, Digital Influence Activity Evangelist, Broadcaster, Blogger, former NGO Director and a World Music lover. Bit of an eccentric too! I have a zest for life even though I am getting old!

I was in Kabul, Afghanistan, from June 2010 until June 2011 working with Radio Bayan (formerly Radio Sada-e-Azadi) the NATO broadcaster as their Editor-in-Chief.

I set this blog up in order to document the year I was there..

So, there's some audio, video, images (and some text).
