Maybe, If you get the chance read "The Places In Between" by Rory Stewart. Rory was a former Army Officer and British MP who also served as a an Administrator in Southern Iraq during the occupation. In the winter of 2001/2 he walked across Afghanistan. The book is the story of the walk and gives a good insight into the area and the people, their attitude to their faith, life and death. You will find it quite eye opening compared with Western values.
