Hey Baxter, thanks much, appreciate it. This piece on the Indian rock scene was just put up - http://matadornights.com/up-and-coming-indian-rock-scene-offers-punch-and-variety/

Some more is coming up, will link you to it when it's out. What's going on with you?

In response to your question...the very first thing I ever heard about Oman was that you can get a ticket if you have a dirty car. I thought, I would like to see this country where it's illegal to be dirty. Next, I read that the people of Oman are really super friendly. And I thought, I would like to visit this land of the super friendly people. So there you have it - extraordinary cleanliness and friendliness.

Hey I just realized that you sent me a message a while ago. My next adventure is an around the world trip. I will be starting out by flying from Seattle to NYC & onto Italy. Europe is on the books for about 2 or 3 months then down the Eastern African coast. After I make it to South Africa I plan on catching a flight up into India. I'll be exploring Asia, mostly S.E. Asia then it's off to Australia/N.Z. The last part of my trip will consist of venturing up the west coast of S. America & back into the U.S. I have no idea how long I'll be gone & I love that. I can't wait!!! It's the ultimate adventure.

Khan al Khalili

Refine your bargaining skills with the smoothest touts in the city’s most ancient quarter, ‘The Khan.’ From pashmina to silk and everything in between, they’ll mix and match your hejab to fit that favorite lip-gloss of yours perrrfectly. For fun, tally-up the marriage...

Zabeeba

 

Za what?

Za-bee-ba

Say it again: za-bee-ba

What can it be?

What does it mean?

It sounds vaguely obscene

Found all over the Middle East, in every season

In Arabic, it...
