What Awaits Visitors to Kabul?

After the Berlin Wall fell and Eastern Europe rolled out the welcome mat, Prague was the place to go, at least for a while. Then it was Vietnam. We’re guessing that once the situation stabilizes in Afghanistan, Kabul and its surroundings will get their share of curious backpackers. But what will they find when they arrive? There’ll be a lot to see, according to an Associated Press report on CNN. “There are the mighty snowcapped Hindu Kush mountains, the spectacular blue lakes of Band-e-Amir. And for war historians, the rusting hulks of hundreds of Soviet tanks, helicopters and fighter jets, left in fields where they were abandoned or blown apart.” In addition, according to the report, old postcards for sale on Chicken Street will show visitors how the city has changed as a result of war, and just how much has been lost.
