Retire in Afghanistan

"Life for a retiree in Afghanistan and its surroundings can be a challenging one. Though there is a small expat community in some of the larger cities, security issues make it difficult for the expat community to become close knit and well integrated into local life. Cultural attractions include ancient relics such as the Minaret of Jam, the Buddhas of Bamiyan, and various historical landmarks scattered throughout the region. Recreational activities for retirees include sightseeing of the region's natural beauty and visiting archaeological sites and ruins. Unfortunately, there is very little in terms of nightlife for retirees in Afghanistan, as most cities in the region are largely conservative and lack entertainment venues," remarked one retiree in Afghanistan.
