Hello Kabul.

with 3 comments

I’m finally here. I arrived in Kabul, Afghanistan on the 10th September 2008 with a KamAir flight 006 from Dubai. It’s a 2.5 hr flight trough the mountains – I was waiting for this moment for quite some time. Kabul is a place that I always wanted to visit. It is a very beautiful and amazing place.

Here are some photos – I’ll add more when I get some sleep.

There is nothing wrong with the plane.

When leaving Dubai for Kabul we boarded the airplane and then we were just sitting there, waiting, for quite a while. I don’t think anyone thought much of it, after all, it’s an unusual flight, from an unusual terminal (terminal 2 in Dubai that only does flights to Kabul, Baghdad and Tehran) so, I though, not a big deal. But then the pilot comes on and makes an announcement:

Hi Everyone. Just to put your mind at ease, there is nothing wrong with the plane. The plane is good, there are no technical problems.

Myself, personally, I thought it was quite funny. Apparently there were some VIP passengers who were very late and we were just waiting for them to board the aircraft.
