a visit to an isolated town
A CNN reporter recently covered a story in a remote town in southern Afghanistan. He and a group of afghanistan soldiers set out to the city early in the morning. As their trucks rolled into the city, residents curiously looked at him as he was the only white person in the back of the truck, a rare sight in the town which had not received any foreign visitor under the rule of a loyal follower of Taliban, Ghab Motan. With the recent cease fire agreement between the government and the ruler, the army were allowed into the city. There, unbelievable scenes were recorded, no garbage collection service, goats were seen eating scattered garbage by a street, thousands of power lines impossibly tangled together to tap the city's only power generator and children wandering the streets on a regular school day.

Thank you, MM. I have one question. Do you interpret foreign visitor as a visitor from another country or another city in the same country?

A foreign visitor I presume is of a different country or nationality. Someone from another city would be a stranger.
