I don't usually post e-mail forwards and such, but since I'm completely baffled as to why this is even a close contest, I offer the following snippet:

It Makes Me Sad..

...to have good reason, yet again, to say that I'm so glad I'm not in Yemen anymore.

It really is a beautiful and interesting country. Not that my experiences there were all that great, but I can honestly say that I'm glad I was there and went through it all, as it doesn't seem likely that I'll be going back any time soon. Truly a unique opportunity, and truly a very troubled country.
