We've got 2hrs to kill - body clocks already out of sink! Am going to try and learn some nepalese from a podcast.

... But I later realized that the hills didnt actually sweep into the town, they were outside the town. (Pardon my illuision!). We entered the SAPTO busstand there which was quite the opposite of lonesome-boy it was packed! It was there that I made a call to Manoj in Jeddah.

... to the west and Qatar to the east. We didn't know where it was until we were due to fly home via the island. It's interesting to note the road bridge (King Fahd Causeway) which links the two countries and is 17 miles long.

... skin tone ("usually they are very white" he said).  I seemed to get a lot of stares and confused looks, so I think people were trying to figure out what I was (since my clothes and other looks probably didn't fit one culture very well).<br><br>So I sat, waiting for boarding, trying not to sit next to Westerners or speak [English] to avoid raising suspicion among people who may be heading to with me to Yemen.  There was only one other Westerner in the private boarding area.  A group ...

... my destination is the museum on the other side. The breezes and views are nice enough, but I'm getting tired, what with carrying my entire pack around. So I go over to the museum; it's supposed to be really nice, and I hope I can check my bag, wander the museum and then go to the hotel.

First and foremost, what I learned in my first month.... Jean Claude Van Damme still makes movies, one is coming out not too long now here... and yes they are still horrible ...
