OMG, Travel! Not first on the list; but I am soon to be sent towards the Afgan land;→[More:] thanks to !America!

I do electrical and HVAC type of stuff in this particular aspect of my part-time IRL world.

Anybody have any advice or clues for me?
Proper or real gifts for locals I may encounter- pieces of silver, Hershey bars, Amazon gift cards; IDK. I can read up and down the internet from a distance; but well, reality is always different.

I'm old, and far from combat arms or any of that stuff; so I'll probably be deep inside a fence so to speak during the entire time I'm there, fixing and reparing crap. So that's that for what it's worth.

Any clues I can take with me? /r/ buzzman
