Continuing the theme of the quarter of Indians in Kabul

One of the photos, with a striped cane - I. Very interestingly named stores. Some of them, in Russian letters. "Sergei's Shop." Another - "Mishin store." That's what marketing-oriented audience.




Memoris day, when I first took over the post. I ran to the boy about ten years old. He said:
- Commander, what is?
- What do you want?
- Gasoline is? Condensed milk is? Cigarettes are?
- No.
- Commander, what do you want?
- Nothing.
- If Mike sells 10 bottles of vodka - Eleventh yours.

After a while came another boy, also an Indian.
- What you promised, Misha? Serge, if you sell 8 bottles of vodka, the ninth will give you.




In my hands was whether to allow to stay in the post Soviet machines. And built the conversation - the car stopped, I was approached by an officer and sparshival:
- You can go buy a bottle of vodka?
On that day, to encourage competition, I in turn sent them to different shops, Misha and Sergei.
