when in Yemen

немного (1 + 2 + 3 + ) путешествий:

Fouad is a slight guy around my age, with wide-set eyes and a wispy moustache. He’s dressed in a coat and slacks rather than the thawb-and-dagger outfit that most men here seem to favor. Almost as soon as we start walking, he turns to me and asks:

“Tehuzzin?”

“What does that mean?”

“This is an important phrase. It means, do you chew qat?”

“Well of course! When in Yemen!”

We settle on a plan. Fouad will show me the city, we’ll have lunch, come back to the hotel, chew some qat, and then take a walk again in the evening when the light is at its prettiest.

хороший.
