I've just discovered the Survival Guide to Kabul bulletin board: http://www.quicktopic.com/23/H/NN24HsfiTdmn
It's mostly people looking for language teachers and housing and massages, but there are also some wonderfully bizarre ads, like one for 10,000 liters of engine oil.
In Iran badan sazi, a literal translation of body building, means the same thing it does in English. But in Afghanistan apparently it means that you all line up and your kickboxing coach walks down the row kicking and punching each of you in turn, starting with the legs working up to the throat and then back down while you hold your muscles tense. The elbow to the liver was the worst.
