For a recent piece of homework I wrote an extensive account (in Arabic obviously) of my time in Yemen - I wrote about my first day here, my impressions of the people, the weather, the customs and traditions, the places I've visited in Yemen, the architecture, studying Arabic in Yemen, the things I've liked most about Yemen etc. etc.
Anyway, so impressed was my teacher that he showed it to the school director who is now going to send my account, along with my photo, to Yemenia (Airways) Magazine to be published. Apparently, Yemenia have contacts with my school for any pieces of student work that reflect positive Western experiences in Yemen. They publish them in their magazine so as to boost tourism in the country.
So, if any of you happen to be flying Yemenia or are in a European hotel any time soon you may see my fine work complete with pasty photo!! Of course I had to edit it slightly for Yemenia, ie. take out the bit where I said I got ripped off at the money exchange on my first day, and of course the bit where I said the Yemen government was a beast of corruption!
