on nye, had conversations with guys from afghanistan that fled from the taliban.

they walked by foot through iran, iraq, syria and then got on an inflatable life boat in turkey with 20 other refugees to ‘greekland’. of them, his family was already in england, but he didn’t got lucky and got caught by the police, separating him from his family.

the family of the other guy went missing when the taliban invaded his province kunduz. he has no idea where they are now.

when i asked them about nye, he told me they celebrate the new year in two more months. ‘i know from the movies new years is important for westerners because they all gather together and look up to a really big clock and countdown together’
