these are your photos? love the man one of the making tea. to us in the west, making a cuppa is just bang, switch on the electric jug, throw the instantly boiled water in the cup with teabag and hey presto. over there it a whole multidimentional experience blended with patience. i love the chai wallahs in india.

i was there in 1977, toramana. before the russian invasion and before the shah was deposed. a good year to go through.

they are really something, aren't they? i spent about 2 years in the himalayas, in nepal and india. that crisp clean air, pristine environment, the slow pace of life and the gentle, friendly people. yes, i can understand that desire. is it in pakistan or afghanistan, you would go?

faye, it will be in Swat...Khyber Pukhtunkha (now in Pakistan)...
