Jalalabad is also called J-bad by those of us too lazy or tongue-challenged to say the whole word. It is a pretty big city, and by Afghan standards, very green and relatively wealthy. Right across the border from Peshawar, it is a major trade center and revenue generator for the Afghan government. It's also very flat, since it's in an alluvial plain as the river winds down toward Pakistan and eventually, the Indian Ocean.
