精神生活堕落的借口
我的室友大学毕业以后工作挣了一点钱,曾经跟另一个女朋友一起游过非洲,游了小半年,背包住便宜旅店,一路走一路望。一共走了五国还是六国,不记得了。她说人民最友善的是“非洲“非洲,象埃塞俄比亚,肯尼亚这些地方。反而在埃及,似乎当地人认为单独出游的白种女人都是妓女。当然她这也是个人感受。

Jun, 那里真不适合你单独去旅游。 你去行是可以去,一定得有男友/老公,或者有粒充当这个角色的男性朋友, 要不到处受骚扰。
他们那里对女人的看法就两种,要不你是某某人的老婆,要不你就是粒妓女,无它。 老婆们在家待着。 泡吧泡咖啡店的是做生意的,单独在街上走的也不正当,she is fair game。 阿拉伯男人搭搁起人来粉执着,执着得令人抓狂。 我原来认识粒人,白人女的,在Tunisia 旅行社工作过一段。 挺爱玩的粒人,在那儿可天天工作不怎么出门。 我好奇问为啥, 伊说她每次单独出门肯定受骚扰。 男友又不在那儿,出趟门还得找自己不怎么喜欢的男人“保驾”。 后来伊男友去看她段时间,他在那儿日子可过得写意。 阿拉伯男人有种brotherhood的气氛,对男游客粉友好,主动说话请抽烟请客的。 有天他在咖啡馆里随便和当地一粒人聊天(里面都是男人),问人家你怎么不跟你老婆出去? 他说,不是我不想。 但如果我把我的老婆带这儿来,周围人肯定认为她不三不四。 我怎么能让我老婆受这样的侮辱?
还认识几粒香港女孩子跟了旅行社去埃及旅游。 上街小贩们对她们特友好,竟是伸手摸她们的脸,她们的胳膊。 嘴巴上说是从没见过中国人,切,哪是这样,他们自己的女人可不这么摸来摸去的。

土耳其好象还好啦,气候近地中海,物产丰富,很多人在德国希腊有亲戚,对女人礼貌些。我这又是从实验室的土耳其博后得出的一家之见。
不过那人是我见过的吃东西最疙瘩的一个,挑食得要命,枉他七尺白面长发男儿。

Well, first thing first, People in Turkey are Turks, Kurds, and some Persians. They are not exactly Arabs.
Secondly, Turkey is a politically secular country, and they really really want to join the EU, so they might appear more open. But ask your 七尺白面长发男儿 what's the single most important requirement on his wife? For sure he would say a virgin.
Besides, it is not always dependable to judge a country by her grad students here. It's hardly a representative pool.

Thank GOD Turkey has been secular since the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Ah I am dying to learn more about the history of Istabul and Jerusalem (Damn another place that's unsafe now). It's a f*cking shame that these places, and Beirut, are yet again plunged into war. People haven't changed much since 1000 years ago.
Coincidentally, last Friday on DC Metro, I overheard a middle-aged guy chatting with a couple of youths about Turkey. He is married to a Turkish woman and they go to their beach house in some resort town there every year. The 2 youths just came back from Turkey because one guy's dad was there for a conference on mechanical valves. A couple of names of tourist cities were thrown around.

嗯,那个人现在没有女朋友,全副身心扑在工作上。不过据他说他曾经约会过一个犹太女孩,那女孩的父亲对他很粗暴,后来没成。当然这只是女朋友之一,别的没好意思打听。vir不virgin就更不好意思打听了。他现在成天慨叹自从来了加拿大以后没有了life,全奉献给老鼠了。
Karen说得对,graduate students总不是人群的好代表,可能我们太自由散漫和贫困。

You were lucky. I never heard anyone talking to anyone on Subway. You have to be as perceptive as Xiaobai to see things.Jun wrote:DC Metro is not nearly as colorful as NY. Last time I was on a NYC subway with a friend in the evening, I saw a guy chatting up a pretty woman next to him and throwing around stuff like "my agent", "audition", etc. You don't see that in DC...

yeah, everyone including myself is always passed out on the train--granted it's 7am, but still.Knowing wrote:You were lucky. I never heard anyone talking to anyone on Subway. You have to be as perceptive as Xiaobai to see things.
plus queens is for boring people.


Now that happy moment between the time the lie is told and when it is found out.
In Manhattan , they are going to Brooklyn and Queens. Xiaobai, it is a loop. I got to Brooklyn too. I went there 2 weeks ago! My friend lives on a lovely treelined block in this lovely townhouse with a little backyard. After the thunderstorm was over, we stood outside, breathed in fresh tree/grass scent you only get after a summer storm.

parts of brooklyn remind me of beacon hill in boston. i'm sooo priced out of anywhere hip in brooklyn, hehe. hipsters need to move into my area to jack up the rent so that i can bask in my rent-controlled glory...
dang, rent stabilized is what i meant... i wish it were rent controlled, i wish.

埃及不是近年来发生过几起针对游客的爆炸事件么。我有时侯会上英国外交部的Country Guide去找资料,一般而言他们的意见比较不偏不倚,而且及时更新。目前建议绝对不要去旅行的国家是:Ivory Coast,Lebanon,Somalia。埃及不在危险或部分地区危险的名单上。
There is a high threat from terrorism in Egypt. Attacks can be indiscriminate and against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
On 24 April 2006 there were three explosions at three separate locations in the resort town of Dahab in the Sinai Peninsula, in which 23 people were killed and more than 60 injured. 。。。
On 23 July 2005, three bombs exploded in Sharm al-Sheikh in the Sinai Peninsula. According to the Egyptian authorities 63 people were killed and 124 injured. 。。。
Approximately 838,000 British nationals visit Egypt every year. Most visits are trouble-free. 。。。The crime rate in Egypt is low but you should safeguard valuables including your passport and money.
Egyptian society is conservative and women should dress modestly.。。。
Women are advised to take extra caution when travelling alone as there have been isolated incidents of harassment.
嗯,我室友和另外一个女孩也平安回来了。其实平安和危险都是相对的,如果去的人百分之百出事,那就真的没有人敢去了。即使是百分之一,已经是很高的危险率,一百个人里还有九十九个没事呢。就看自己勇气如何啦。
你们没有有人对摩洛哥感兴趣的?昨天看了一道摩洛哥菜的做法,除了中东北非惯常用的香料以外,还多了烤杏仁,大杏脯和葡萄干,登时大起好感。又想到卡萨布兰卡,蒙地卡洛,有去书店翻翻的冲动。有人去过吗?

Actually I had at one time considered both Morocco and Turkey at the same time, but a couple of sources told me that Turkey is much more interesting and tourist-friendly than modern Morocco.
Really I need to haul my ass to St. Petersberg next year before I tackle any elaborate (and more expensive) plans.
