Reflection on Cultural presentations

[David R. Stevens]

Sadly I was only able to see two cultural presentations, both of them based on the language of Urdu.  I knew nothing about Afganistan before the presentation.   I thought it was beautiful to see pictures and listen to the presentation about how Afganistan used to be what the West would deem a very "modern" country:  people listening to the beatles, short skirts, and bob and push up hairstyles.  It was tragic to here about how Afganistan became a nation where it is now.  The presentation really gave me a stronger sense of appreciation for Afganistan as a country and taught me that the country hasn't always been under Shiriah law.   If the country ever opens up and becomes more accepting, I would love to visit the country.
