My Favorite Building in Afghanistan....Kabul (with half of TV Hill in the background)



To be honest the architecture in Kabul sucks. A lot of stuff has been destroyed, and all the new buildings are cheap mirrored glass with streaks of dirt perpetually running down the sides. All the new residential homes are worse. We call them birthday cakes. (At least Rocco was good bad.) Pak influenced and built with heroin.  I'll go get a pic of one after my shift ends.

I wish I could tell you something about the building above. I can't though.  It's an octagon. And I like to think that when the muj were in the hills above firing mortars down on this street, they tried their best not to take this thing out. tia.
