Afghanistan Travel and Tour Guide
Choosing an Asian Travel Destination
22Apr2009 Filed under: Afghanistan Travel Author: admin
Choosing a destination point in Asia for your next vacation means choosing between the following locations: Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Cyprus, East Timor, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, North Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Syria, Tajikistan, Thailand, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Yemen. Russia and Turkey are part of Europe and Asia, by the way.
How to choose the right destination spot is the focus of this article.
Where To Begin
There are really so many options here that you must narrow it down quickly or get overwhelmed. Exclude those countries that are at war or have a high level of violence associated with them at the moment. Then, break down the possibilities according to what interests you most. Is it religion, cuisine, architecture, art, crafts, natural phenomenon, history, a particular event, or even a particular animal? Choose a category or come up with your own and then consider further breaking down the chosen category.
Building On An Idea
For instance, an interest in the religions found in Asia could center around Hinduism and a trip focused on visiting the various areas where Hinduism is concentrated. Building on this idea add the category of architecture. Now you can locate and visit the Hindu temples in the regions you have identified. Further add the crafts that are associated with the Hindu religion and you now have something to collect on your trip.
Lets try another one. Start with cuisine. Maybe you love hot, spicy food. What makes food hot and spicy? What if your whole trip centered around chili? Discover which country has the kind of spicy food you love best and not only eat your way through the trip but visit the farms and people where these chili’s are grown and harvested. Build this trip further by learning about the history of the plant and discover whether there are particular tribes, a person or a location connected to the cuisine and worth adding to your trip.
Triggering The Travel Bug
In taking the first steps to plan a trip, you may stumble upon a new idea or path to follow. If a topic tugs at your interest, read up on it and see where it takes you.
Another way to choose an Asian destination is to plan a trip based on a favorite region. Even a trip like this can be overwhelming to plan due to the vast landscape of Asia. Again, break it down once you have chosen a region. What is it about the region that draws you in?
Plan your daily activities around a city, a district, or an idea. What if you were to follow in the footsteps of Genghis Khan? What if you have family history in Asia?
One visit is not enough when visiting Asia because its vastness and variety do not fall under one category. Each country, each city, each street corner is filled with something worth traveling to see. Be prepared to return again and again.

Not very….hahah I wouldn't advise it though, it is still a dangerous area. I would check with the Consulate there to ask what they are recommending for Americans, they might be able to give you a better idea.

Iraq is smack dab in the middle of the richest oil reserve on the planet. As of 9/11 Sadams army was in shambles , his brutality was legendary, and after over 8 years of sanctions the civilian population was undergoing a humanitarian crisis.
Bush and the majority of his cabinet disapproved of Bush senior leaving Sadam in power after the first Gulf war.
All this coupled with a reasonably logical assumption that Sadam probably had some WMD stashed away some where made for a relatively easy sell to the American people that a military invasion was justified on the heals of the 9/11 attack and the administration correctly ascertained that a military victory over Sadams army would be a cake walk.
They incorrectly assumed that once Saddam was removed the Iraqi people would unite to rapidly adopt a democracy that would be a model for the mideast and friendly to the US. Had this gone off as planned it would not only have solved the US energy needs for decades it would also have provided an ideal strategic military base of operations to strike Iran and Syria if military action should be required to bend them to the Administrations will.
Once the Oil reserves of Iraq were secure as well as oil reserves in Iran coupled with oil reserves in Saudi Arabia the US would essentially control the well head in the Mideast and pretty much any country on the planet that the Administration found to be in contention would find it’s energy supply cut off and that would be a very powerful weapon indeed.
Of course the possibility remains that the Administration will go ahead with their plan and invade Iran regardless of the failure to produce a viable friendly democracy, he has the air power sitting idle and he has the ground troops in place and battle hardened if a ground assault is required to destroy military resistance in Iran and or Syria.
The Idea that such shenanigans are a war against terrorism is laughable in that if such actions are taken they will justify the terrorists cause world wide.
Our children’s children’s war to which they speak.
This doesn’t have to be, this environment is being created by wealth and power seeking ever more wealth and power that’s producing the poverty and inequity and warfare that in turn produces the terrorist’s.

The air distance between Bangor, Maine and Kabul, Afghanistan is 6352.28 miles, or 10222.73 kilometers.
An SR-71 flying at its (reported) record speed travels 2,193.17 mile per hour, or 3,529.56 km per hour.
If that jet could maintain that speed for the entire distance (which it cannot do), the trip would take 2.89 hours. It would probably have to refuel twice enroute, and does not fly at its maximum speed when cruising long distances.

Why on earth would a peaceful country have a need to have permanent bases anywhere but on home ground?
Canadians are first and foremost – Peacekeepers, not warring imperialists. We go where we are needed and when we are asked – we do not assume to know better than the rest of the world what should and shouldn't be. If that were the case, we would undoubtedly have military bases all over to make it easy to stick our noses in other people's business.
We are, however, an active member of The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and as such, we get involved in safeguarding the freedom and security of its member countries by political and military means when called upon to do so. You can learn about NATO at the link below or google the word or the name in full to get a variety of pages on the subject.
Edit: I am not sure what Jim B thinks is contrary – The question is in the present tense, not the past. And I did not omit NATO which addresses the post WWII and Korean War periods and is ongoing. I spent most of my life caring for Vets and my answer was absolutely NOT intended to put down any vets or minimize their contributions. But right now, we are more often called upon to be Peacekeepers in our role as a country. Our role as a member of NATO is in keeping with the Treaty we signed. At present, it seems to me, we spend most of our efforts cleaning up after wars and military conflicts started by others.

Take steps to ensure your own safety, have a plan. Talk with the German Consulate so you know what options you have if you should run into trouble.
As a worse case scenario, figure out what you would do if once there, your husband decides he does not want either of you leaving.

It took 8 to fly to London so I'd guess around 12.
