An Afghan youth stands at a market in Musa Qala on January 18, 2011.
I looked around and realized that everything is like it was 500 years ago. It always seems to me that many of the medieval artists could see everything! And here I understood that everything was just like on in their pictures. Afghanistan is a time machine, I could hardly believe my eyes.
Afghans seems to be very different for other people in the world. In Helmand I can't understand them!
Let me tell you a little story, which made me think about the people in Afghanistan.
"One journalist returned to Afghanistan for the second time and met his friend from the first visit, and asked him : " Habib, where is you best friend Mohamed, with whom you were with in a war?" "Could you see that someone is shooting from that hill" said Habib. "That is Mohamed. Because I now don't have any money he had joined my enemy. Now he fights against me. But that's ok. Soon I am going to earn a lot of money and he will became my best friend again.
