Globetrotting reflections
It's been another interesting week here in Kabul - we have our first placement for an trainee here in Kabul, the exams here keep going, and the kittens have returned to our community centre with about as much common sense between them as a Mr Bean Boxset.
It's not the easiest time to be in Kabul for the students, with the exams going full swing. Nobody has much time, head down to revise for the exams which are designed to be pretty tough. People do a pretty good job to make time, but the exams are still there.
I'm hoping to start the language lessons soon - waiting on news back this evening for that one. Learning the language is gonna be interesting for me - having spoken just one language for far too long... There has been some difficulty in contacting the person who did the language teaching quite nicely at the USAID group where a friend of ours works, but getting the number is not so easy with the sensitivities of passing on numbers.
Then there's the cats which seem to have claimed our nice little, once peaceful Mediothek community centre for their own. They sure are making themselves known, mainly when I'm trying to sleep. I'm not quite sure how one of the kittens got on top of that door frame - so I tried to help by offering a lift down for the vocally worried little cat. Not taking me up on the offer, I tried moving my hand closer, which caused the cat to jump out of danger. And I escaped unharmed too in case anyone was worried.
I have been going for the food quite a lot around here - it's just so perfect. It tastes great and the price is right. Add to that the social side of life here and it makes life out here quite enjoyable.
And we have our first traineeship here in Kabul! The only trouble was getting to meet Wafi (the committee president) before going to Tolo HQ. The plan seemed simple enough, meet at the office in the morning and go together to Tolo. But there was a change - and I wasn't gonna find out about it - thank you AWCC mobile phones! So I go to Tolo just on time - and went in. Wafi got there a few mins later - all the time both of us trying to call between each other - no luck.
Gotta start making sure no plan, or change of plan, depends on mobile phones...
I gotta try and get our new groupware collaboration software system up and running - soon we may have powercuts, we may have no internet backup, but thanks to the open atmosphere here, we will have one of the most advanced IT systems outta the 91 countries in AIESEC!

Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years. We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.
Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
