Looks like a good party, but it is true as you point out, the glaring absence of girls dancing and the use of various props to remedy this, makes it all look slightly surreal.
For extra points, we’d like to hear some of the music, too.
Talk to you soon.

I shall see what I can do in terms of sharing Afghan classical music with you. It might even be possible to find a site with the music!
And yes, it is true that this country is great for observing alternative strategies of compensating for the lack pg representatives of the opposite sex. You see very strong male friendships occur, expressed openly by holding hands in the streets. And vice versa, for the women: the notion and matching set of responsibilities of motherhood or sisterhood are often extended to neighbors and friends. So walsing guys are just metonyms for the strictly segregated society!
