Back in the USA

[Tbeers]

Hey TB, just wanted to let those of you who may have noticed my somewhat prolonged absence that I am back in the world of computers and internet, after spending a lot of the summer in Kabul. It will be great to pick up the bass again! Rock on.

Tbeers;

Welcome back. It's always great to get back to the USA.

You have to go back soon? On your mid tour leave or home for good?

Blessings

I know the feeling well. It's great to pull it out of storage and go nuts.

Oh, I am actually a student who went to Kabul to teach English. Not in a military capacity, though I respect the guys who are out there doing it. I am more of an academic type, trying to help out in some way and also to improve my Dari fluency.

T, what was it like over there? Did you teach both boys and girls? Did you feel safe? I for one am very impressed...

+1 I too would appreciate hearing (reading) or your experiences ... could be a book deal for you.

I taught both men and women, aged 18-26. It ended up being mostly business English. My students were good... they will be leading the country eventually, I think.

Anyway, other than that, I don't know what to say about my experience yet. It's not something I've been able to digest too easily. A very upsetting place.

Sorry I can't give more at the moment. Maybe in a couple months, once I've had some more time for reflection.
