Afghanistan isn’t Kabul. While so many things had changes in Kabul, the rest of the country still lives a life without technology or modern lifestyle.
In rural areas, people don’t have access to electricity, and they get water from the well. And each family has a well in front of their house.
In 2019 I went to Badakhshan province, people in the provincial capital had no idea about the U.S invisible. They are nomads.
Bathrooms usually locates on the third floor. There is one central heading that people use it to cook and keep hot water for tea and warm the house up during the winter. A Tandor is the main source of heat. It is installed in a room which called Tandor Khana. People burn wood, leaves some other items in it. When it is hot, we bake naan “bread” in it. Next morning the ash is taken out of Tandor and dumped into the bathroom. first it reduces the smell, second it is mixed with shit and people spread it on their farms instead of fertilizer. As we are a poor country and there isn’t enough money to buy all kinds of goods. Using shit for farming is a way of dealing with shit in a practical way. People believe using shit is efficient and it doesn’t burn the root of the plants and vegetables.
