After almost three years and half diligently serving Pakistan,
Afghanistan, and Iran,
as of May 1 I have been given the responsibility for the China portfolio.
Not the portfolio I thought I deserved (Maldives, outposted),
but you can’t have all in life. And after the recent events in Afghanistan
(the attacks to a
restaurant where we used to go when in Kabul, to a hotel where we stayed just
a few days before two gunmen broke in and killed nine people, and to a guesthouse close to the one
where we stayed several times), perhaps time had finally come for a change.
This change brings a mix of feelings. On the one hand I am somehow sad to
leave three countries to which, for different reasons, I got attached. On the
other hand I am attracted by a country which I feel I somehow belong to.
In the next posts some pictures of my recent trip to China, a few weeks ago.
