He is indeed a great writer. I am currently working on a research project among Afghan refugees living in the Netherlands, who have revisited Afghanistan in the last couple of years. Two themes keep cropping up in the interviews, the first is the extent of the corruption everywhere, and the second is their shock at how much the people in Kabul have changed. They comment on the lack of friendliness and respect, the avarice of the shopkeepers and taxi drivers. They are all saddened by the changes the ongoing conflict has wrought in the Afghan population. As one elderly gentleman put it: They can rebuild the whole city, but they can never fix the people. Reading Jason's book for the second time, I often thought how well he described the dignity of the Afhan people, and sadly, how much everything must have changed since he wrote the book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199830678971482883.post-54273381934636820172008-09-18T19:48:00.000-07:002008-09-18T19:48:00.000-07:00Yes, Jason is a handsome man and a great writer.

Am i a travel writer / I love writing and was once editor of the NZ Adventure magazine. It wsa great to write, photograph and edit full time. That was 18 years ago and I was unable to support a family of five children on that.<BR/>Like the tulips, my time will come to stick my head up and write full time. Have a relaxing weekend.<BR/><BR/>BobBob McKerrow - Wayfarerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832128768908667724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199830678971482883.post-78954574499013724622008-09-18T17:47:00.000-07:002008-09-18T17:47:00.000-07:00I am always stunned when I read your stories.

Did you write travel stories You could easily do that. I love travel stories and read a lot of them in Dutch and some in english. Thanks for the tip <BR/>I can imagen that Kazakhstan lady falling in love.

I love going down the Singapore river by boat and dreaming what it was.<BR/><BR/>Don't worry my brother, when you retire there will be lots of wilderness left to enjoy. Our conservation policies are strong.<BR/><BR/>BobBob McKerrow - Wayfarerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832128768908667724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199830678971482883.post-48418805302964092032008-09-17T17:00:00.000-07:002008-09-17T17:00:00.000-07:00BobI'm currently working in Singapore.

But I'm likely to be moving to the Middle East in the New Year - even further away from those New Zealand mountains. <BR/><BR/>I just hope there's some wilderness left in New Zealand by the time I retire and move back.Gollumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00114417112715835849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199830678971482883.post-27695237477816940532008-09-16T18:39:00.000-07:002008-09-16T18:39:00.000-07:00Hi Gollum.

Yes, poor old Afghanistan has for centuries, been penalised by its geographical location. It really is a crossroad between Russia and British India, Persia and India, and the main route of Alexander the Great, Chenghis Khan, Timur (Tamerlane), the invading Bristish, Persian, Soviets and Russians. Now we have new invaders.<BR/><BR/>I lived there is 1976 and again for 3 years between 1993-96.<BR/><BR/>I must go to the Timaru Herald website and check out the NZRC nurse who worked in Vietnam. What country are you working in Gollum ?<BR/><BR/>Best wishes<BR/><BR/>BobBob McKerrow - Wayfarerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832128768908667724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199830678971482883.post-76280387997700990152008-09-16T17:11:00.000-07:002008-09-16T17:11:00.000-07:00Bob I'm just re-reasding Robert Fisk's "The Great ...Bob <BR/><BR/>I'm just re-reasding Robert Fisk's "The Great war for Civilisation" which has quite a bit about Afghanistan in it. Terrible suffering has happened there over the last 30 years or so and it doesn't look like they are any closer to a solution.<BR/><BR/>There is an article on the Timaru Herald website today about some Red Cross nurses who served in Vietnam during the war. I am sure that you know them and might find the article interesting.Gollumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00114417112715835849noreply@blogger.com
