The Italians in Herat have been extremely hospitable. Afghanistan is roughly divided between different nationalities – the British in the south, the Americans in the east, the Italians in the west… When we first arrived in Herat, we visited the PRT and we were given an incredible lunch of Italian food (proscuttio, good cheese, even white wine with lunch!! – in contrast, the British and Americans seem to eat nasty processed food and not a drop of alcohol is allowed on their bases!). The charming Italian soldiers then asked us back to their karaoke night. So we went and ate pizza, drank beer and sang along with bad Italian pop songs… quite an experience!
