It’s transliterated as *marshrutka*.

I suppose it’s from the French, marche route, or something.

Yeah Rodger,
Glad to see you get your “boots’ on the ground in theatre so you can actually translate the experience into sound words instead of diffusing the words of people who have been there and tried to relate them without being shot down by the educated mind. Peace out.Return home.

Josh – can you give your readers a bit more detail about what you plan to _do_ in Afghanistan? I might be more inclined to chip in if there was some clear sense of what you want to accomplish and, more importantly, how you plan to accomplish it. It’s not an easy country to get around in safely, for obvious reasons. If you’re an ‘embed’ it can be difficult to get outside the military’s cordone to talk to Afghan people, but then you have no security. Do you have trusted contacts you plan to hook up with — and I mean _trusted_ contacts, not friends of friends of friends of some guy named Ali in Kabul. What’s your plan, dude?

hi Josh,
what truly is the best way to get a copy of the FCR? i’m a reporter in pakistan and i can’t seem to track one down. have you seen a copy? i notice you said it’s not accessible online and only in a few national libraries.

Joshua! I was really surprized that people in UK read Aitmatov. He is one of my favourite writers and I have read “One day lasts…” twice (of course, I am from Kirgisistan : ) )
