Yemen Travel Blogs

Background: North Yemen became independent of the Ottoman Empire in 1918. The British, who had set up a protectorate area around the southern port of Aden in the 19th century, withdrew in 1967 from what became South Yemen. Three years later, the southern government adopted a Marxist orientation. The massive exodus of hundreds of thousands of Yemenis from the south to the north contributed to two decades of hostility between the states. The two countries were formally unified as the Republic of Yemen in 1990. A southern secessionist movement in 1994 was quickly subdued. In 2000, Saudi Arabia and Yemen agreed to a delimitation of their border.

Pretty uneventful day today, later on after work I will be at the Wadi Club for a good time BBQ, again celebrating the retirement of the same man as a few days ago (remember?? goat?). I will be avoiding the beer this time. One major event happened today however, and I officially un-retired from the pro tennis circuit. Today at lunch, I played tennis with 3 engineers here and one of them kindly offered to lend me his raquet. Game on. I didn't have proper shorts or shoes or other attire, but made due with what I had. I thought I [View Full Entry]

Life as a girl... Middle East » Yemen
The interesting thing about being a girl out here at the CPF is the stares you get as you walk around the camp. Very rarely do I ever see any women out here. When I first arrived on Tuesday there were 6 (SIX!) women here at the camp. Turns out 3 of them are my co-workers from the Calgary office, one of them was a visitor from the capital city of Sana'a, and one was me. That left ONE woman who worked here regularly. Two of them left on Thursday to go back to Calgary, so that leaves me and Wendy, [View Full Entry]

Camels Everywhere! Middle East » Yemen
I'm going to take the time to write this again after the first one didn't work out.... Sorry about the infrequency of the 1st few blog entries, as they have had me running around ragged since I got here on Tuesday evening!! I have arrived here in Yemen, and am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the facilities here. My trailer has hot running water, satellite TV, a mini-fridge and a nicely made bed all for me just steps away from the Mess Hall where we all eat 3 square meals a day. The CPF also has tennis courts, squash courts, [View Full Entry]

MIA in Yemen Middle East » Yemen
I've been getting a lot of questions about why there aren't more blogs. In a nutshell, I haven't stopped traveling, but I've been to lazy to type up my blog. I made it through Eritrea, and am now back in the Middle East, studying Arabic in Sana'a. The blog should be uploaded Real Soon Now. Thanks for reading. [View Full Entry]
