Kabul University

We had a few meetings at Kabul University.
Talking to the professors in some departments there is just like talking to European professors. But they are dressed more formally (suits and ties), so Sabira and Mirweis marched us off to the tailors to get suitably suited and booted. Finding something without too much sparkle was a challenge (I wasn’t sure what to buy, except I guessed it shouldn’t be too sparkly). I settled on a shalwar kameez, red pants and white cotton top, made to measure in less than a day, and very cheap. Although I realized later the fabric is completely sheer, it doesn’t matter since I’m blanketed in a shawl the whole time anyway.
