If it's on, i'll definitely let you know...<br /><br />S: I only remember a newscast of a man trying to protect his girlfriend and crying, while a mob of men were reaching out and touching the woman. It was upsetting to watch. <br /><br />I mock you for quoting tupac. <br /><br />It totally took me a moment to figure out what you were talking about with the blind crush and all. But I remember now.

Where is it? <br /><br />The NYC happening you mentioned was during the Puerto Rican Day Parade a few years ago. I don't know if there was a rape, but a lot of women were grabbed and assaulted, and from what I remember that the police did nothing when women complained. <br /><br />Your perceptions about the male/female interactions in Afghanistan is something that is true for the whole world, though sometimes less obvious. <br /><br />Other than that, glad to hear you had a safe journey back.

Well, I was thinking about the U.S. and there was a parade in NY where the men basically molested (maybe even raped) a girl.

And whoever PFR is, he/she rocks.<br /><br />I'm glad you were able to see the buzkashi and the kite flying. Whatever people think about them, it's a matter of experiencing the culture. (When we do discuss the kite fighting, I'll point out that there is/was a similar practice in Cuba, using razor blades.)<br /><br />I suppose that in the U.S. there are situations where groups of men are likely to ogle and advance on women, too, but I can't imagine living with it to the point that I start to feel uncomfortable or worried for my safety. Then again, I'm super cautious so I guess I don't put myself in those situations. I'm intrigued by the idea and the implications of this part of life in AFG...<br /><br />Glad you're safe and sound. (Well, the sound part is still to be determined. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24742175.post-79663406631444038102006-11-04T08:18:00.000-05:002006-11-04T08:18:00.000-05:00welcom back. where were the buzkashi match?
