Jumping at the opportunity to take advantage of the most flexible period of my life, I decided to go to the Middle East for an extended period of time. This blog will present a mixture of personal experience and broader social or cultural issues I encounter here. It will (hopefully) have its funny moments, but it will also touch on some serious topics. Really, this is all just an experiment, so feel free to experience it with me.
Blease, let me exblain
The Arabic language doesn't have the letter "P", so Arabs have a very difficult time pronouncing it. Instead they replace the sound with a "B", making it very entertaining to hear them sing Happy Birthday, say the word Pepsi, etc.

I know I shouldn't complain, especially since it's only June, but it is REALLY hot. To top it off, it's not like it's hot and I can wear appropriate hot-weather clothing. It's 100 degrees Fahrenheit and I'm in jeans and a sleeved shirt. Sticky.
