Not to dwell too much on the air quality around here, but I had a really weird moment with a couple Macedonian guards the other day. We were in their office and they were both complaining about how bad the air is. These guys spend a lot more time outside than I do, and that particular day the air was worse than usual, so their complaints were certainly valid. But I had to laugh a little when, in the midst of their complaints about what the Kabul pollution is doing to their lungs... they both lit up cigarettes.
Seeing someone smoke inside was odd enough, let alone in a government office. But to have a lit cigarette in your hands while complaining that Kabul air is bad for you, well, there's a certain lack of self awareness going on or something..
You can't make this stuff up.
