Morjes!

Welcome to my blog. I write about fitting in, sticking out, and missing the motherland as a serial foreigner.

Where we are

Well, we're on the road. We left on Thursday for our summer vacation trip that I alluded to here. Since I would enjoy this kind of thing, I'm going to give you a chance to guess where we are. Some clues:

- The entire cost of the structure of our trip (airfare, train tickets, hotels) is only slightly more than the cost of one plane ticket to the US from Dubai.

- Ninety percent of the population of this country is Muslim, so Ramadan is observed.

- But we can eat and drink in public and it may be insensitive, but it's not against the law.

- And church is on Sunday.

- And actually, we are ın the exact place as one of the FP Ramadan photos I lınked to on Frıday.

Any guesses?

The answer is TURKEY.

We are havıng a blast, but (or perhaps so?) ınternet tıme ıs ın short supply. As you can ımagıne, I have a lot to say. I hope to get some photos up soon!
