The other day I fired off an e-mail to Yemen, asking a couchsurfer if he'd let me stay with him for some time this summer. And he answered that I'd be most welcome to stay with him and his family! The most curious thing about him is, that he's a member of parliament, runs an ngo and seems to be a cheikh from al-Jawf. What I'm wondering is, how this influences my thesis and if it does at all. Should I change my topic, get this experience somehow into it? (at the end of the day it was all only possible because of the net...) Anyway: I don't have to worry any more if I can afford a trip to yemen this summer for improving my arabic and that's just great news!
