@coma , its been a while since your last update, how is your Scarification healing going?

This is Barg e metal in Afghanistan. Beautiful country, not so beautiful people all the time.

Not sure where I was going with this, took me 15 min to find the photo and I forgot. But, posting the pic anyways.

This is Backpackingvet in Barg e metal, Afghanistan.

Barg e metal is the name of the … town? … hah wow… metal.

I’ve only just now, 3 months later, noticed I left not just my PM3 but my ACR in my dorm room.
Was meant to go this weekend to get everything but the snow has fucked it

Right, I totally forgot the 3-month-update - as in, I forgot to take a picture. Really annoys me, but well… :grimacing:
I’m just cuddled up in several layers of clothes and blankets (no, it’s not really cold inside, I just like it that way! :wink: ), so I think I’m gonna post a new picture tomorrow :slight_smile: Just too lazy to undress :smile:

and @Amal - believe it or not, I went to a really big Dutch festival for three times now, and there are actually people running around like that… on stage :smile:
Just love that humour. Those festivals were the most fun and peaceful gatherings I’ve ever been to :wink:

Had to Google it. Barg e matal. Metal is the one thing they had little of there.

Beautiful country.

Maybe ā€œBarg eā€ means ā€œOut ofā€ in Pashto :slight_smile:

Ha, I don’t actually doubt it is possible. There are tons of mines (both land and mineral) there.

I’m more impressed you knew a specific dialect of Afghanistan. Could also be Dari, I’ve not done a lot of research.

I’ve just impressed you with my Wikipediaing skills :slight_smile:

One thing you can reliably count on is that countries often have more than one official language, and the languages don’t always bear a relationship with the name of the country. Nothing says I’m a clot more than saying ā€œI bet this means X, Y or Z in Peruvian / Canadian / Afghaniā€ so I always make sure to look that kind of stuff up before referring to a language of a country I don’t know.
