So here is the exterior of the building I live in. I told you it was a mud brick castle. It is actually called a Kulot, this is a very common structure in this province. People live along the walls and in the center they have areas to grow fruit trees, plant gardens and house their livestock.
This is my doorway. Notice how thick the walls are about 3 feet thick all around. Now this door was built just for me, when I stand in the door the top of my head just brushes the top of the door, so the door is exactly 5'4" high.
Here is a picture of my office. I think it is a pretty good set-up.
My bedroom is right through the curtain. My office and room are connected. Who could ask for a shorter commute. By the way, I built the wall separating them.
Here is the hole in my ceiling, notice the straw and mud coming down. When it rains water comes in the walls and runs down the beams until it gets right over my bed then drips down.
I am living in very unique housing that other PRTs do not get to experience. As crazy as I am I like the "rustic quality" of this place and am enjoying my new home.
The weather is beautiful here! It is sunny and warm but not hot. It cools down at night but not cold. Not much to blog about this week, other than to remind everyone that care packages are welcome! Know that I do share, and you would be supporting the entire PRT and everything they do here.
This is a small rug I picked up in Kabul.
