Still in Kandahar. The south is super-fascinating, and will send you a long email when I get a bit of energy. Having a bit of a lull at the moment, although quite active around Kandahar. Discovering much about the massive loss of government/US control of the south and east. Quite worrying. Big problems for the future. Also learning about the really awful state of the country's education system. Some positive things though, esp in terms of a good NGO in Kandahar which has an interesting approach to women's issues in the south.
