Yemen11. Other beatiful scenary and landscape in Manakhah (Yemen 10 is posted at the same time)

Other landscape and scenary inside the villages and mountains. When I saw the cow in the first photo, I just feel like coming to Switerland! However here actually is Yemen!
PS: Today morning, I met the Deputy Minister of Yemeni GIS and another official to talk about how can I go to Marib. Unfortunately they told something totally different from the first meeting.
They told me, I needed to get a letter from Chinese Embassy first, and in the trip I will be accompanied by one staff from GIS all the way and I need to take care his accomodation and paid 40US$ per day. I need to arrange my transportation instead of having military escort because military is independent.
If I can go alone without some following me, it is still worth to go because military is the target of rebels, it will be safer without military escort, I can invite some students in school joined me together as for sightseeing.
So, I decide not to go to Marib.

去唔成marib都幾可惜.不過看你的記錄,也門真係好正.對於也門,我只係記得以前跳土風舞時學過也門步.

版主你個樣同保加利亞佬有幾分相似.

Flower: Singapore marathon is quite good but not very good. Only flat road, start early, lots of seashore(but without view, just sea), excellent Po girl massage, power gel supply in 24 and 28KM...

The best of Sg M is the design of T-shirt is really good!

Interrupted Girl:
Fai asked similar questions about women, will write more about women later.

I haven't peeped the ladies because of no chance! Only foreign women don't cover their face. So I still haven't seen one Yemeni women.

I am not a Muslim, so I cannot marry a Muslim women!

山中方一日,世上已千點。雖然你遠離塵囂,不問世事,不過都要掃興講你知,個市一日跌成千點,相信到你回港之日,股市已換了人間。望住也門的風光,2628、857、005、1800...,管它跌個人仰馬翻?我自逍遙天地吧!

You should freelance a whole piece about your adventures to a magazine. With all the pictures you have, i'm sure you can sell the story for a good price.

Yes, stock market drop severely!!! So pity that I only sell some before I left!!! All become "Flower in Mirror and Moon Water" I should sell more!!!

To Kwei, English of Yemeni is really bad. Hiking in the countryside is wonderful. However it is not quite possible to travel and hike the village and small town if you don't speak Arabic. At least you need to know how to ask way and understand what they say.

So I joined other classmates who can speak fluent Arabic every time.

To Queen,

Really? Sorry! I don't know a!

To Albert,

Actually many foreigners have adventure here and some of my classmates stays for months!!!

Who will have interest? I don't know. It probably is too small "niche".
