| 12th January 2008 Gaylord | Please don't stop posting, Matt - From: ' Greetings from Mexico. Matt, I have been enjoying your posts for some time now. Yemen fascinates me, as does all of the Middle East although I haven't visited any part of it. I followed your posts hoping at one point to read that you had found "Man friend", at least. Direction is your life will be no problem at your age. Learning a new culture and language from the inside is possibly worth more than a Fulbright at this stage of your life. Please, continue with your posts. |
| 28th December 2007 Cadence | where you at? - From: ' Hey, why no blogs recently? Traveling? MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS! And happy new year soon! I got a one hour massage as a present, awesome!

It should be fun since we've been saving things since Halloween so it will be a tour of American holidays and celebrations! Miss you tons Mr. P!!! |
| 14th December 2007 americatrotter.livejournal.com | - From: Roots Wow, I had no idea Arabic worked that way. See, your blog isn't only entertaining, it's educational too. Haha |
| 11th December 2007 americatrotter.livejournal.com | - From: To do It is NOT boring whatsoever. I check it out regularly to catch up with your last adventures in a country I couldn't even locate on a map, and it brings some exoticism to my not-always-that-thrilling life. |
| 10th December 2007 Mike | Investment Banking - From: To do $107K+ sounds nice, but you may find that opportunities for people with no experience are a little less profitable. I have been enjoying your blog, but I'm just not much of a comment poster in general. This comment is more of a response to your request... So does it count? |
| 27th November 2007 Cadence | great! - From: Part 2 Oh man, I loved this entry and the last. I wonder what Yemen Cheaters would really be like. Who is this skank anyway? and where are her parents/family if she's only 18? Ok I also wanted to note the EXTREME disappoint I had when I heard I missed your call, next time you have to call me, 'cause I miss you tons! I PROMISE you'll recieve a little somethin' somethin' from pdxxx before Christmas! |

| 9th November 2007 Guillaume | - From: Thanks But No Thanks What's going on man? We need to read more about you in Yemen. Just kidding. But no seriously, you should give us more to read about your experience over there, unless it's getting way too intense to be written down. Haha. |
| 7th November 2007 David Dylan | Al-Tawhid Mosque in San Francisco, the imam, Hassan al-Jalal, a Yemeni - From: Thanks But No Thanks http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/07/us/07gaymuslim.html |

| 27th October 2007 Lindsey M | No news sounds like good news!! - From: aktooub hey NUT!!!! Miss you!!! It sounds like you are adjusting well to all of the new stimulation around you (street cred, cha ching!). I think its really great that you are picking up some Italian too!! Cadence and I were just saying that it seems like it has been way longer than it actually has since you left, but I'm sure the time has flown by for you. I think you you should go balls to the wall on the prescription scene! And don't for get your friends on the west side;o) But don't get into any trouble, with that or with the russian nightclub (that place sounds AWESOME!). Anywho, i hope things continue to go well!!! Love you, Lindsey |
| 24th October 2007 Petros | help me _ _ _ you're my only hope... - From: A hive of Scum and Villany prefacing that descriptive passage with a quote from Obi Wan was certainly a fine decision... can't wait to see those pics! oh yeah! Has news reached Yemen, or at least you, of the hot new "dumbledore is gay" scandal? Pat Robertson is getting a serious kick out of this all the way from the celestial kingdom... anyway, i'm going for a bike ride... take it easy... |
| 19th October 2007 Neima | Interesting choice of words - From: Oh Muhammed, Why Has God forsaken Me? Were you aware of the following when you used the word 'ferengi'? "The name "Ferengi" is an Arabic name for European traders, or for Westerners in general. Both the Arabic word and the name are similarly pronounced /f??r???i/ (IPA). The name is likely derived from the Arabic word faranj or ifranj, "Franks", or possibly the Persian word farangi, meaning "foreigner". In Ethiopia, ferenj or ferenji has the same meaning. The Greeks used Farang or farangi to refer to western Europeans, especially from Catalonia. It has the connotations of an ethnic slur against Europeans, and was used as a partially derogatory term in India to denote the British, especially by those resisting British rule. However the word is often used in an affectionate way. The Star Trek usage is derived from the above." Have I told you this already? In Farsi, the word for tomato (goja ferengi) literally translates to 'european vegetable' and the word for a water closet and basin into which one regularly urinates and/or excretes (toilette ferengi [both french and arabic, hoo boy]) literally translates to 'european toilet'. |

| 7th October 2007 Petros | Bytes from Dreamland... - From: Don't go shopping during Ramadan B'nut! hmmm... the fake-german version of your hallowed moniker does not perform well in this p-less universe... it also makes me seem either violent or simply vile, depending on which vowel gets used.... Color me Jealous! The whole thumbs down to bush instant camaraderie bit sounds delightful and definitely something that a reedie should be well suited to. Let me know as soon as the arabic lessons illuminate some more apt legume terminology. |
| 22nd August 2007 sien | hey - From: Getting Started hey, congratulations with your vaccins and the best of luck! |
