Sport is a way for oppressed Afghan women to fight oppression. Noria is an 18 year old girl who returned to Afghanistan after spending half of her life as a refugee in Iran. For Noria nothing is important but self-control and patience that she tries to learn every day and then teach others. Those values are great pushing power for her and other women to carry on being involved in the sport they love and dream about being world champions for their country.

The Old Kabul Bazaar exists today much the same as it did in the distant past. Metal workers still today pound out farm implements with hammer and anvil or etch intricate designs into blackened pans prior to sale, much the same as in centuries past. Children, animals, old men with their coursing hounds—all are as familiar in the Old Kabul Bazaar today as they were when caravans spanning the mountains and high deserts stopped in Kabul to secure the rare ingredients used in the millennial art of natural vegetable dyeing.

Living in this part of Kabul is not easy, there’s no sanitation in this area, the residents usually come down and carrying water on their backs to the top of the hill. The field which is filled with little snow is the graveyard belongs to them as well. Parts of the city which were devastated during the civil war in the 1990s have been largely rebuilt. Large construction projects are going on all over the city.

It is taken below the snowy peaks the mountains of Hindu Kush appear bare, stony and poor in vegetation. It was hard to get there, it has tough winter, the temperature can be expected to drop 25/30 degrees below 0°C throughout the winter season. All roads are getting closed approximately up to 4 months. If there are some health problems, people have no choice just to be lucky not to die.

Qargha Lake is a perfect place to go for a walk and picnicking. It is located above the Kabul golf-course, If you desire to play gulf there, just watch out when you hit the ball with your golf club, it may touch a mine 
Qargha Lake is a place that rich and poor can spend their weekends and wash out their worries. It is only about 9 kilometers in the northwest of Kabul city and close to Paghman. This is the most favorite of the weekend getaways and sightseeing places among the local Afghans as well as tourists during spring and summer times.
