Lost and Found in Afghanistan
It was late. We were lost. All the shops were closed and padlocked for the night. Winding our way through the tamped-earth streets of old Herat, Afghanistan, we tried to find our way back to the hostel. We went down passageways that seemed vaguely familiar, only to have them dead end or loop us back to where we'd come. My companion grew frustrated. I felt a dangerous combination of hunger, exhaustion and rising panic as dusk faded to black.

Five Foods to Try in Wuhan, China
Wuhan, a central Chinese city which straddles the Yangtze River, has gained global attention over the last year as the original epicenter of the Covid-19 pandemic. What the news reports do not capture is the charm of this city. Having spent eleven years there working as an English teacher, I came to know Wuhan as place with historic towers, temples, and bridges, as well as some of the kindest people I’ve ever met. There are vast clothing and jewelry markets that stretch out for miles and only open after dark when the city lights are glowing. Wuhan has four major museums, dozens of parks, and a bustling underground independent music and craft beer scene. Above all, Wuhan serves up spectacular food, some of which is completely unique to this city. If you’re lucky enough to have a chance to visit Wuhan, here are five dishes you can try.

A Journey to Wuhan’s Ziyang Park
When I lived in Wuhan, I used to spend a lot of time at this park near the primary school where I worked. It was called Ziyang park, and I hated walking there. It was on a road which was in a state of constant upheaval due to construction. Since the sidewalk had been torn up, pedestrians and cyclists had to share a narrow sliver of fenced off street, and with no clear rules about which direction people were meant to be traveling in, everybody just smashed into each other in whatever way they wanted. Sometimes, breathing in motorcycle fumes and listening to the cacophony of car horns, I wondered if the walk was worth the destination. Even so, I knew that the stress of getting there was part of what made the destination special. The hustle and crush of bodies and vehicles outside provided a contrast which made Ziyang Park a beacon of calm.

The park has a viewing area, a small museum, a training restaurant, and long walks to buildings and other wartime remain.
