Classy Houses in Kabul.

I would like to think that Kabul invented the gaudy, tasteless and occasionally offensive mansion design, but I’ve been to enough cities in Asia to know that they did not.

In parts of Kabul there are so many houses like this that they have become as much a natural part of the city as stationary traffic and potholes in the roads. http://trueslant.com/pjtobia/2009/07/12/narcotecture-a-photo-tour-of-kabuls-poppy-palaces/
