LaSt WeEk oF BLoGing eVER - Post A

A cultural difference i noted this week was how Aphgans lived their lives in Aphganistan. One thing i noticed was their families. They each had very extended families that they all knew very well. This is different because for me, it's like i know my first cousins and then i barely know my second cousins whereas in Aphganistan, they keep in touch with their 1st, 2nd & 3rd! "When hassan and i came home after watching a kindi film at cinema zainab, what Ali, rahim khan, baba, or the myriad of baba's friends - second and third cousins milling in and out of the house"(357). In short, Aphgans get together alot with their families and extended families and in my opinion, they all treat each other as if they are friends.
