The Learning

Have you ever heard of buzkashi? I just learned about it today. Two teams on horseback fight over a beheaded goat, trying to score by throwing it into a circle. People in Northern Afghanistan play buzkashi.

and you probably thought that that ESPN commercial was a joke... Nope, a real sport! Maybe you can get tickets online... or maybe not. Have a great time.

Did you know that the first apples came from (what is now) Afghanistan? The first third of Botany of Desire is about apples. Unbelievably weird.
