Hey I've seen that Spider! That spider is doing well, my friend, check out my next blog and you will see the little bugger in close up crawling up Suleyman's Throne! PS get your arse in gear and get to C. Asia, the kettle is on.
Powerful writing If only many more of the worlds leaders had to backpack around for a year or two across the globe in their youth, we ordinary citizens wouldn't have to endure so much international strife, I suspect.
Your writing is as entertaining and enlightening as ever....

well, anonymous guy, how does he earn money for travelling?? Simple: he stole my wallet in Samarkand and probably many more all over the world....
no no no, it's a joke, don't worry.
the answer is easy: he is HIS DUDENESS! and always get more food, cheaper accomodation and better rates!
Hi Ralf, it's me, il Mercante, met in Khiva and Samarkand; I can't wait to read your next blog about tadjikistan....

What did you see? So .. you went to Kuwait, made quick judgments, felt lazy going to a trip then you wrote a review? I'm not pissed but I'm sad that you missed some amazing amazing places that you could have seen in Kuwait whether it was historical, cultural, or even places to go (activities, restaurants .. etc)
shoot me an e-mail and I'll be more than happy to guide you personally when you give Kuwait another shot! :)
I enjoyed your Kuwait post. It looks interesting there. My blog is looking for travel photos. If you have the time,
email us some at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com or check us out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com
Continued fun on your travels,
Eric
You can't have cushioned seats in a Souq! unless of course it was an a furniture souq, then forgive my sentiment. I dare you to go and put 12 cussioned seats in the Souq's of Damascus, or even try and find space for 12 cussioned seats. Apart from this comment, a splendid read, are you using your CS contacts?
Re: Madina I am surprised that you take my writing so seriously? I mean who would? It has been written in a satirical ironical way that nobody could mistake for being anything else than that. So I don't think anybody mistakes it for being the truth. I will not correct or change my blog, anybody who is interested in the history of Mazar-e Sharif will surely not use my blog a source but look further. I have accepted your comment and people can view it, that I think is enough of a correction.
CORRECT UR TEXT with honor Dear author or in charge of this page - hello.
I am madina parmach and writting to you because I think you should correct the text and show respect to us muslims.
I read : According to legend, he visited some local mullah in a dream (of course...) revealing his true tomb to be here in Mazar-e Sharif... Perhaps one day, after I am dead, I will do the same... I can have a bunch of graves around the world... It will give me something to do in the afterlife, visiting different people revealing my true grave...
On top of your page...
this is WRONG!
My grandfather His Excellency General Ghulam Rasool Parmach build the mosque in Mazar e Sharif - when he was appointed as governor of Mazar by Kind Zahir Shah.
My grandfather was first generation to embrace Islam -from Nooristan.
He was a righteous man and devouted all is life for Afghanistan - he worked non-stop to make a change. Thats why people of Mazar Call him baba - meaning father. Because he saw people of Mazar as his own family.
Mazar e sharif was the worst city and many thieves terrorised the city.
He had a dream that Hazrat e Ali - grandson of Prophet - ask him to clean the area around him.
So he removed all the slums and rubbish buildings - made a new city plan - and made road structure and made the area around the shring big wide and built the mosque etc etc..
His Excellency General Ghulam Rasool Parmach used five years of life and devoted it to do what he had dreamt of till he succeeded.
When a man like H. E. Gen. Ghulam Rasool Parmach embrace islam and honors his country and faith that much - then I dont like that you write that a mullah had a dream....
He served his country when he was sick and paralysed in bed for 7 years after he had retired and till the day he died. These men are not ordinary men. They had a will of Iron. Honor is with them and Allas has blessed them.
Its better to write what is true or dont write at all.
My kindest regards to you.
Madina Parmach
i like to say about minhaj comment, U did not found any guide, maybe your require was not properly, for security there is enough police, RAB and other forces as every one know. Sorry to say may be you are fearing to police that’s why yourself u take cover. Right now I am living in foreign this country also leading all over the world by finance & politics, there is also not enough their nation & foreigner security, now days every country having security problem, just requesting to your to read new paper and watching the CNN & BBC world new. Further don’t say about Bangladesh security we honor to them. Now days Bangladeshi security force is 1st place in United nation security force team.
Hi
I'm gonna be in Sri Lanka for 2 weeks in June. I am hoping to do practically the same route as you show on the map at the top?
How long did you take covering that route? Do you think 2 weeks is enough time?
Thanks
Thomas
