Hey, I'm off to Kandahar tomorrow!!!!! I have to go and 'witness' a load of stuff being sent there and will go there at 6 am until 12 pm and then I'll return back to Baku!!!
I'm pretty excited! The main reason I'm going is because I've been offered 1.000 USD for about 8 hours of my life. Would you do the same or do you think I'm taking too much of a risk???
They told me it's not dangerous.... |

Good luck! Kandahar seems quite calm now with elections and stuff going on. Just keep close to the American and European peace-keeping forces down there, then you should be fine!
1000 dollars for 8h of your life, definitely worth it!

Good luck to you, I hope you make it back safe and sound, don't stand too close to the soldiers, cos remember they are targets.
As I always say, if sh*t hits the fan, then duck. |

hahaha Enjoy your few hours of Kandahar mate. I guess its not a bad place except its too hot! PLEASE dont walk anywhere other than on the roads. The place is littered with mines. And in case you bump into Osama, make sure you teach him the word 'barber'.
If possible bring that idiot back to Baku and make him undergo a sex change. Then hand him back to the Talibans. |

Hiya all, it's really funny.... I'm actually an English teacher here in Baku. But now the school year has finished, I'm just enjoying the weather and doing nothing really and then today during Brazil-Belgium a friend phoned and said that his company had a charter flight going to Kandahar from Baku tomorrow at six and that they just had to load off some stuff there, but their client requested a person to witness it and take a picture of me there and then sign a document and because they had no one to go and they really need it for tomorrow they offered me the job!!! I had nothing better to do, so I just said: "yeah, okey!!"
I should be back here tomorrow at about 11.00 GMT so that's ok.... and they told me that I have a 50.000$ life insurance in case anything does happen....
Hope to see you guys here tomorrow!!!!

$50,000 dont sound to good when ur dead lol, Unless they'll pay u in the afterlife LOL No seriously, you wont need it, coz u'll be quite safe! bet theres more chances of the plane crashing than you being killed in Afganistan. And that wont happen either!
Have a great time, hope to see some pics!!!

I told this 'English teacher' that he is actually a spy No wonder he has been recruited on a short mission to go deliver 'stuff'.
By the way can I have the 50,000 bucks in case anything happens to you. |
