Downtown

Well, these aren't great pics of downtown, cause there are actually multi-story buildings and such around. But then there is also this.


I think this hill is called TV Hill... Note also the old Soviet-era taxis.



I've seen maybe ... 6 traffic lights in Kabul. I mean 6 lights, not 6 intersections with lights--six devices with 3 colored lights in them. None I have seen have been working, and none have been grouped in more than sets of 2, with some being alone... Traffic circles are very common, as are intersections with no traffic control at all. A few intersections have traffic cops, at least at busy times.
