animal. She said Animal......The locals here in this village still haven't made up their minds if we are Men or Women. Sometimes they even think our male vaccinators from Kabul are women... Often the boys get tired and say "look they have chests." Then one old bat said "but it is so small", so my counterpart said, "she wears a band, a bra,"... They are so dumb,... The vaccinating is very boring after the first 2 weeks in one provence, I'm ready for somewhere else..... I think if I have to drink one more pot of tea, hassle with one more old bat about a vaccination, or stick one more [[plison]] in the arm, I'll blow my mind.... The scenery is what saves the Job - (So, Jack, she's become a scenery bum - I was one once upon a time, too - but lets keep listening to Lenore) -... Now here where I am in [[Chakhaher]]*, Ghar, I'm in the midst of the Hindu Krust Mts;** long narrow green and yellow valleys smelling of alfalfa, and people living in tents called Yurts that originated on the Kurche steppes in Russia (over)

*[[Afghanistan]]
** [[Hindu Kush]]
