Afghan fun

Posted by Natalia (Kabul, Afghanistan) on 3 June 2009 in Sport & Recreation and Portfolio.

There are buzkashi and there are Buzkashi. Buzkashi in Aqcha, a small rural town in the NW of AF is something one must see. Every spring on Fridays buzkashi enthusiasts are come together for 4-5 hours to watch their favorite sport. The players and the spectators are become one huge mass of energy and speed ( yes speed, because you have to move fast to get out from the horses way).
