Yemen

"It's far friendlier and safer than wherever you are from"
says lonely planet guide book about Yemen.
Indeed, I think this sentence summarizes Yemen. I haven't met such hospitable and polite people anywhere else.

Love your Yemen shots. It is such a beautifull country. Some of the people shots are excellent!! So recognisable. Mine are here: http://www.pbase.com/poppieboy/yemen. Enjoy if you like!

Yes Maggie: it was very safe, i felt much safer there than in America. there is virtually no danger of being mugged or robbed. Politics... different stuff, they don't like governments, not people.
I will put some tips on...
MaggieOlivie 23-Jan-2008 15:57
Incredible photos!!!
How come you managed to get to Yemen,was it safe, given the political turmoil?
I would like to go there some day. I have been all over that part of the area, but obviously not 'Yemen'.
Spectacular pics. Keep it up.
Hook me up with some tips.
