Welcome back, Miguel - been anywhere interesting? I was surprised to learn that petrol in India is more expensive than in the U.S. And, yes, it's subsidised here too. Cheers, George W Russell Bangalore > Welcome back, Miguel - been anywhere interesting? I forgot when I last posted here. Late in 2007 I spend a few weeks in Lebanon/Syria/Jordan/Israel, an excellent trip. I'd planned on meeting my friend in Syria, but I couldn't get a visa because Syrian embassies only want to deal with people who are living in their own countries. So I flew to Beirut, spent a few days there, and took a taxi to the border. Beirut was interesting but the unease of the place is pervasive. Understandably. Crossing the border into Syria without a visa turned out to be a piece of cake. Damascus was a delight. Amman is an ugly place, but we made some great Jordanian friends in just a few short days, which really changed the experience. Petra was spectacular. The Arabian desert also. Aqaba is chintzy but fun. Getting in and out of Israel was, as always, a major nuisance, but well worth it for the historical treasures within. In the meantime, these newsgroups seem more full of spam than ever. It's a shame, between the spam and the shrill flaming there's not much left of what used to be. Has everyone fled to the slow web forums? SignatureHit the road!

I got a visa at the border, too. It was mayhem as they had eight counters for Syrians, a counter for other Arabs, and a counter for foreigners. As the entire expatriate population of Lebanon and a bazillion people of Lebanese descent with foreign passports descended, did they open another window for foreigners ... noooooooooo! It was one of those problems I just threw money at, given the circumstances. As it was a work trip I was reimbursed, anyway. > Damascus was a delight. > > Amman is an ugly place, but we made some great Jordanian friends in just > a few short days, which really changed the experience.

Jordan and Israel are on my list, while I'm in (more or less) this part of the world. > In the meantime, these newsgroups seem more full of spam than ever. It's > a shame, between the spam and the shrill flaming there's not much left > of what used to be. Has everyone fled to the slow web forums? Inevitable, given the public nature of Usenet. Of coursethe people who complain most about what's posted are often the worst offenders when it comes to trolling and ... well ... the popular term I've discovered for it in another forum is "shitposting". Filters still work fine, though, for most spam. Cheers, George W Russell Bangalore > I got a visa at the border, too.

Now I feel pretty lucky - or my timing was good. They took me into the director's office, where I sat down for a few minutes to answer some questions. Then they took me over to the cafe next door, and came to get me when my passport was stamped. $16 for the whole thing. SignatureHit the road!

SignatureAlfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe > Getting in and out of Israel was, as always, a major nuisance, but well > worth it for the historical treasures within. What was the procedure to get into and out of Israel and why was it a major nuisance?

Part of the problem is that I've traveled there in the past to do some work for the Palestinian Authority (the statistics bureau, not exactly a hive of troublemakers). That seems to have left an indelible mark in my file, and every time I'm trying to get in, I have to sit through hours of really boring interrogation. I'd also just been in Lebanon and Syria in the weeks prior. And I insisted on not getting my passport stamped. I suppose it all adds up. This time I entered by bus from Jordan over the Allenby bridge, which was a bit more relaxed than flying in, but still not particularly fun. They always let me in eventually, and I never make any trouble - I don't understand why nobody bothers to put THAT in my file. For a western tourist without stamps from middle eastern countries, it's probably not such a big deal. miguel SignaturePhotos from all 45 countries on 5 continents: http://www.cultureshocktherapy.com >>> Getting in and out of Israel was, as always, a major nuisance, but >>> well worth it for the historical treasures within.

I went to Guam in January and was selected for special screening for the first time. It wasn't a huge deal - being Agana airport, the staff outnumbered the passengers - but I did wonder. I go to the US every two years and used to live there. I didn't ask for fear that would raise even more red flags but I do notice now that there's an awful lot of Arabic stamps in my passport.

I still go to the US once or twice a year and I'm always surprised that no matter how much Syrian/Lebanese/Iraqi ink I accumulate, they never seem to care at all at the passport stampery. From what you hear online, it would be enough to get me hauled straight off to Guantanamo. Were you just passing through Guam or visiting there? I would have thought the people who actually make it all the way over there would be a fairly cosmopolitan set, and the airport people would be well accustomed to strange stamps. But then again, never having been there, it's only a guess. SignaturePhotos from all 45 countries on 5 continents: http://www.cultureshocktherapy.com |
