Sex
Sex must be inquired into detail even if the patient is 80 to 90 years old. "Jahaaz" or "Juma" is a decent word for all. But for young Arabs, the colloquial word is "Zib Mazboot", which literally means, is your penis strong?
Zib mazboot? Literally I'd say it means penis good? But zib was not one of the swear words I picked up from my cousins.
There's been a big gap in my entries lately because I am definitely going to Yemen now and I've been busily preparing. My to do list seems to be growing more than it's shrinking and some details are giving me cause for anxiety, particularly the money details but the light is still green to proceed. I have 3 work days remaining and 1 weekend. I'll probably have to squish everything in by skipping ALOT of sleep. That's how I made it through Uni. I don't feel quite as stressed as I did for Uni exams cause so I guess you could say my earlier life has been preparing me for this.
I fly out on the 10th of August.
Other bloggers have been commenting on the Israel situation and I'm not going to bother completely rehashing the argument. It is clear that Israel is the crazy agressor in this case. Countries cannot attack other countries simply because they know that other has the capability to attack them. This policy will only end in war after war and destruction of everything. The future looks bleak environmentally even if a global war doesn't wipe all life out first.
I read a brilliantly written letter by Tom at

I completely agree with his comments.
So on that dull and depressing note I'll sign off for now.
I wish someone would buy my motorbike and car!!
