Today, I'm living dangerously. Flew into Kandahar, Afghanistan... scene of one of the fiercest ground fights during Operation Enduring Freedom.

I got fired upon while leaving Pakistan. Guess someone doesn't want me drawing too much attention to Afghanistan with my Round the World flights.

Enjoy.

What on earth are you doing there!
I would have been hit with one of my props.
Better stay with the elephants!
In case they're gonna catch you: do you have a beard?
