On Fridays, it´s supposed to be a Bazaar. This is usually approximately 50 or 60 different vendors that come and setup covered areas and sell local goods like handmade carpets, pottery, jewelry, wood carvings, and antique weapons. You can look at beautiful carpets. This one is called a Khoja Roshnai and is made from wool cut from the neck of very young sheep, so it’s soft like silk but durable like wool. The seller might start his haggling at $3000, but is likely to come down at least to about $1,800. 

I will keep loving you everyday and nothing can change the Love i have for you

i feel warm in my heart and i do love you

Here you can see the meat hanging in the open air with no refrigeration.  It seems normal .  I guess when I eat with the Afghans, I'm eating this meat and I haven't got sick yet.   They kill it daily, so it's not like it hangs there for days...I don't think. 

Afghans have the most interesting paint jobs on their trucks.  They call them jingle trucks, because of all the things hanging off the front and the black tassels you see in the picture...it's to ward off evil spirits.
