After arriving from the airport we went to Sufi, a traditional Afghan restaurant with a lovely garden.

I tried Mantu and Ashak, two Afghan kind of Dumplings, with fresh bread.

We sat down with Shoib, our guide here in Kabul and talked about the Persian New Year. I was told that it is highly important how you spend this day. It should be enjoyed, preferably with lots of food together with your loved ones. I had to think of how I usually feel on January 1st. Tired from a long night of celebrations. Completely different from here.
