A friend and I decided to take an organized trip to Afghanistan to
see for ourselves what the place is like.
It didn't start well when the train we were travelling on broke
down just on the north side of the capital. What a third world dump!
Streets full of angry bearded types glaring at us and my friend really
stood out in her sundress as all other women had head to toe burqas.
We are so dead I thought.
Anyway, the organiser suddenly remembered that Finsbury Park
has a tube station, so we were able to get safely to Kings Cross and eventually on to Kabul from Heathrow.
