Italy The ladri are coming, the ladri are coming! Fern Driscoll August 1, 2008 · It’s not “if”, it’s “when,” all our friends have told us. You will be robbed. The ladri (thieves) will visit you and will take whatever gold and money they can find.“No, no!” we cry, “we do not want to be robbed.”

Italy  “Where will you go,” I asked them. “Will you go north to France? Will you go south to Africa? Will you go west to Portugal? Or will you go east to Italy?”  
“We are going to Italy,” Flat Stanley said. “They have rigatoni in Italy.

Italy It was night time by this stage, but being the courageous foreigner I got off the bus, thanking the driver and the old people telling them to have a nice night.

Italy Yesterday I went to the post office to send a package to a friend in Sicily. I wanted to send it three-day air. So, of course, the postal worker woman suggested that if I wanted it to get there in three days that I use one-day air. Huh?

"One-day air takes three days while three-day air takes five days," she said.


On the road    The ticket inspectors are out too on most of the main line bus routes. So tourists entering Rome - BEWARE. Please buy and validate your tickets or you will get fined! The other day I had inspectors on each of my four buses I was taking around town and it was so funny to listen to the poor unsuspecting ticketless people try and talk their way out of the situation.

One woman tried to convince them she did not speak very good Italian, and in her stress about getting fined she forgot she did not speak Italian and came out with a fluent insult of every curse under the Italian sun. Leanne in Italy


Taxi Taxi driver wisdom: "Africans are mean. They'll be smiling and laughing with you but they set out to destroy you as soon as you turn your back. When you are successful, they will try to bring you down. They'll go to the feticheur. They'll put a spell on you by breaking an egg at a crossroad.Pauline

Taxi The rickshaws in Pakistan: tiny, three wheeled yet carries up to a total of 4 grown ups, still maintains a high speed and manages to re-arrange your entire organ content, ending up with your heart literally in your throat, for a mere price of 15 rupees

Transport Now here we are, in the Heartland of America. (I wonder which state is the Bileductland of America? They sure keep quiet about it.)

Taxi driver  ...when I visited St. Petersburg, there were tons of these private mini-buses scooting around the city. Plenty of public transportation available, little (private?) white vans go where buses and trams don’t go, and anyone with an automobile could be a private taxi.And people had the freedom to flag down cars and pay the drivers to take them places if they were heading in the same direction - that certainly saves on gas.

 This is how Iraqi people do when they are in hard and difficult time. This is Iraq I know, where the young give a hand to the old!

"Did your mother never read you the bible?" he asked.

 "Sure she did, but I thought it was silly." "Don't you think that Noah's ark stuff is silly?" I blabbered, running off at the mouth as usual "I mean, Adam and Eve and all that mumbo jumbo, it's just silly!"

treasure of Baghdad
I just can’t believe what I have just seen. This is madness. About twenty Iraqi children were being trained to kidnap and kill at what seems to be an al-Qaeda training camp somewhere in the country yard. I noticed that all these children were Iraqi and the ones who were training them were Iraqi too from the Iraqi Arabic accent they were speaking.

Price of bread kate Bodyinmotion    Mapping the war on poverty
June 5, 2008
Having spent the majority of my adult life on African soil, trips back to the US are full of both nostalgia and contradiction. Visiting my mother’s workplace in the Bronx is one of the most dramatic of these contradictions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

    

                    Initiation  

  kate bodyinmotion

November 19, 2007

 Malawi, along with neighbors Zambia and Mozambique, have male secret societies called the Gule Wamkulu. It is the members of these secret societies that dress in costume, unknown men inside, to attend rites representing Mother Earth, the British Colonialist, and…the fire dancer?

 The fire dancer, Maninja, attends initiation rites demonstrating the dangers of playing with fire, i.e. HIV but somehow I think there was some prior meaning.

We were told that in Malawi, between colonization, Westernization, and urbanization, these rites aren’t practiced so much anyone. But not three days later, driving through the Zambia bush, we saw the fire dancer running along the side of the road to a ceremony.

On the road  Mini bus routes are flexible here in Yemen. The destination of the first person who gets on the bus determines the route handy! I was taking a bus to the Sheraton Hotel the other day to use the gym there and I was told I would have to take two busses, changing to a second route. The first bus stopped and I was the last passenger to get off. I indicated to the driver that I wanted the bus to the Sheraton Sheraton I am shrugging my shoulders dabab (bus)??? He shrugged HIS shoulders then motioned for me to get back on and he took me to the hotel. Customized bus route not bad.  - October 2005      Janet Adams in Yemen

Officer: Chuckles. "Na u finances wi dae check." (We're checking you're finances.)

Me: "Mi finances?" Chuckles. "Ow u go check mi finances? Bank no dae naya." (My finances? How are you going to check my finances? There isn't a bank here.)

Officer: Chuckles again. "Well, na di finances na u pocket, na dat we dae check." (Well, the finances in your pocket, that's what we're checking.)
