Kids in Afghanistan were excited to learn that their country’s capital, Kabul, recently acquired its first amusement park.
This week’s Exercises takes a look at Kabul’s new and fun-filled City Park.
Excitement builds in the queue forming behind the barbed-wire security fence outside Afghanistan’s first amusement park as children in bright clothes clutch their parents’ hands and hop from foot to foot in anticipation of the pleasures waiting behind the high concrete blast walls.
For the thousands of families who have visited Kabul’s City Park since it opened in October, it is a rare escape from lives blighted by political unrest.
