yah it shrunk my dicknballz 5 sizes.
of course was still over a foot long.
i took one of dem minibuses up there from kabul fer 8 hour trip of ass-banging faggotry. they might not want to take you unless you dress a decent afghan since, as i recall, the bus route passes near or through wardark, mebbe even near meydan, and them dudes are little wary of getting pashtuns/talib sympathizers pissed off at em.
from bamiyan hired some driver with my friend round-day-trip to bande amir for 60 bucks maybe?
but that water is just too fukn cold.
