I have been told dozens of times how cold it would be here in the winter. Actually experiencing the cold is something different though. I've lived in cold area my entire life, and this isn't necessarily any worse - it's really just the lack of proper heating anywhere that makes it a little more rough. It is interesting, however, to see Kabul in the winter time - especially how tough the people here are. I really don't know how people survive live through winters here year after year with such a lack of basic necessities (well many people don't actually survive the winters unfortunately).
The winter has been interesting though, and the best thing to do is stay positive - even when all your pipes are frozen and there hasn't been running water for the past month. We're doing what we can to stay warm, and inshallah the coming weeks will bring warmer weather. Below are some pictures I've been taken over the past few weeks here.
