WHILE WE WERE SLEEPING
We’re all so tied up in the current election, the war in Iraq, and the sinking economy, we tend to forget there’s a whole world out there. So I thought I’d take a minute to let you see some of the other stuff going on around the globe.

Toxic Snow From Streets Of Kiev Thrown Into Dnepr /21.11.2007/
In capitalist cities nobody cares of man and his health: everyone is in a hurry to “business” – to work, from work, to shop, from shop. People care about survival and everyday life so much that they do not have any time to think about really important things.
Welcome to the Kabul Golf Club, the best and only golf course in Afghanistan. This is a desert-style course where 18 tee boxes play to 9 holes.
Begin your round with a dramatic tee shot from high over the valley. Be sure to bring a camera and get a trophy photograph of yourself teeing off because your friends will never believe that you played golf in Afghanistan.
Lessons are available from the club’s English-speaking Pro, Muhammad Afzal Abdul, who had a zero handicap when he played in tournaments before the war. He was the club’s last Pro in 1978, and is back to supervise the reconstruction. The course first opened in 1967, closed in 1978, and re-opened in 2004.
A round of golf is the perfect idea for a group outing or to entertain visitors. The Pro is available to accompany your flight to help beginners and ensure that everyone has an enjoyable time.

So we still got Commies out there, we’re fighting for club membership in the Middle East, and Sri Lanka is sidling up to Hong Kong in what can only be a first step toward mainland China and global domination.
“World, thy slippery turns…”
