Eidi Mubarak!
It's Eid ul-Qorban time! After some visa issues, it looks like I'll be one of a handful of foreigners staying in the city for the celebration (and bloodshed--mmm...kabob!) It looked like I was going to stay in my ghetto apartment by myself, but my boss was gracious enough to give me a key to her place, where I will have a few expat neighbors to watch movies with (and everything is working here)!
My real neighbors have been awesome, though. When they found out that I would be alone for 10 days, they were shocked! They sent kids out to welcome me home, and made several visits in the past few days. They even invited me to spend the holidays with them, but unfortunately, they are going to some places that are not so secure for foreigners.
I haven't taken many pictures, and I've had an even worse time posting them, but here are some pictures of me and my neighbors. I didn't take any of the women--maybe later ;)
