Ouch!

The Truth is . . . Scorpions! from Ryan Alexiev on Vimeo.



A lighthearted Truth Booth video in English filmed at Babur Gardens. We're busy translating the others which are mostly in Dari and Pashto.

Qargha Lake



Qargha lake was the site of a major terrorist attack last year by the Taliban. We're scoping the site right now as a potential Truth Booth location. Very secure now and a favorite place for people from Kabul to picnic and swim.

Qargha Hookahs

Translation: No swimming*



*Not because it's dangerous, just deep. Most Afghans can't swim and there were a lot of drownings. 

Bought us some melon!



Melons are in season out here and a lot of different kinds . . . endless stands, endless melons.
