Korean thunder

We have had amazing thunderstorms the last few days. Because Kabul is surrounded by mountains the thunder really rolls around and makes a terrific noise. The lightning also was fairly dramatic last night as well. Our cook in the Guest house Aziz, who is a marvellous cook has Fridays and Saturdays off which means we can choose to eat left overs or we can go out to eat. Today we chose to go out to a nearby Korean restaurant, and like most places that expats gather its behind a gate! The food though was amazing, and apparently fairly authentic Korean food as well. For all the expats that are here working with NGOs there are also those who have come in to run private businesses and the cafe/restaurant trade is a good one.
