  • October 31st - November 13th, Yemen October 31st Up far too early, to the airport, onto a delayed flight and several hours later we arrived in Sana'a, Yemen.

  • Reminiscing in Mukallah Dear All, Today, when I was playing in the sea, my mind brought me back to half my lifetime ago. I live in an apartment now, a few minutes from the beach; a beach with wild surf. It reminded me of Posted by korstiaan in Yemen in a nutshell | Dec 6, 2008
  • Sana'a Yemen More Photos (http://globerovers.blogspot.com/2007/03/y-e-m-e-n.html) As I arrived in Sanaa this afternoon, it was reminiscent of Bangladesh, or maybe more chaotic. Yemen is the second poorest Arabic country in the world. Only Mauritania has a Posted by GlobeRover in GlobeRovers - Exploring Planet Earth | Sep 1, 2007
  • End of the line With five days left here in Sana'a, my crazy Middle Eastern adventures seem to be drawing to a close...for now. Exactly six months and twenty days ago, I walked into John Hopkins airport in Cleveland, bound for a flight Posted by mc327503 in Rock the Casbah 2007 | Aug 20, 2007
  • Jaded in Sana'a It's interesting to reflect back and think about how my perceptions have changed over the course of this program. While this has certainly been the opportunity of a lifetime, despite my complaining, I think it has also definitely made Posted by mc327503 in Rock the Casbah 2007 | Aug 20, 2007
  • Class I've been a bit negligent on posting recently, largely because class has been kicking into high gear recently, and we've all been grinding out the classwork. So, I figured I might as well put up at least one post Posted by mc327503 in Rock the Casbah 2007 | Aug 11, 2007
  • Ta'izz and Jiblah This weekend brought about another trip outside of Sana'a. We headed down south to the town of Jiblah, and the city of Ta'izz, Yemen's second largest city. As we sat on the bus for the five to six Posted by mc327503 in Rock the Casbah 2007 | Aug 11, 2007
  • Fun City On the list of stupid things I could do in life, it would seem that going to amusement park in one the world's ten poorest countries would rank high up on the list. The phrase "Yemeni amusement park" didn't Posted by mc327503 in Rock the Casbah 2007 | Aug 1, 2007
  • Yemen: If the terrorists don't get you the sea anemones will The kids that went on the Hodeida trip recently returned from their jaunt down to the coast. I stayed in Sana'a because of the small hope of making my own illicit travel plans and escaping Sana'a to go to Posted by mc327503 in Rock the Casbah 2007 | Jul 25, 2007
  • The terrorists have won So, once again the terrorists have won. Our trip to Wadi Hawdramaut, the centerpeice trip of the whole program, has been called off. The road to Hawdramaut runs through Marib, and the program is concerned that some of Posted by mc327503 in Rock the Casbah 2007 | Jul 15, 2007
  • Manakha: On top of Arabia With the travel ban lifted, we are back in business on moving about the country. So, this weekend (weekends here are Thursday/Friday), we went to Manakha, three hours east of Sana'a.

  • Back in the communications age Because they're spreading us all over the city, the program is giving us phones, so I am back in the communications age. Unfortunately, it looks like calls on the phone to the US are about $1/minute, so if you Posted by mc327503 in Rock the Casbah 2007 | Jul 7, 2007
  • Sometimes you just need to laugh In spite of recent events (the car bomb in Marib, the cancellation of all 4th of July activities, the Yemeni gov't preventing us from touring outside of Sana'a), it's still good to take a step back and laugh a little.

  • On the 4th of July This is the first time I'll be missing 4th of July celebrations in America. I'm going to miss it even more considering the relatively few 4th of July celebrations put on by the American expat community have been cancelled Posted by mc327503 in Rock the Casbah 2007 | Jul 3, 2007

  • The perils of going to Yemen From one of the other guys on the trip: "I've never a group of people outside of a nursing home discuss their bowel movements so oftern." Welcome to the Third World Needless to say, we've all been eating a lot of yogurt. Posted by mc327503 in Rock the Casbah 2007 | Jul 1, 2007
  • Parliament My five minute walk from the hotel to the Yemen Language Center includes passing by the street where the Yemeni Parliament is located. The last few days, the parliament has been in session, and oh has that been interesting. Posted by mc327503 in Rock the Casbah 2007 | Jun 26, 2007
  • On the ground again Well, Yemen sure isn't Oman. I've been in country for three days now, and it's definitely taking a little bit to get over the shock of coming from a country like Oman, and winding up here in Yemen. Posted by mc327503 in Rock the Casbah 2007 | Jun 22, 2007
