“Travel Sickness”
In Jordan I was a victim of what Middle Eastern doctors apparently like to call “travel sickeness.” Whatever it is, I’m sure I only exaserbate the problem with my habit of not eating properly or staying well hydrated whenever I travel. Whatever the case, I am now emerging from several days of sleep and feeling terrible.
I will have more to report tomorrow, but things are moving forward at the paper. I seem to have co-opted a number of the key responsibilities I had hoped for regarding the Daily Star’s website, and won approval from several important decision makers in that regard.
Though I have yet to get a phone number, find a place to live, or unpack my bags in any meaningful way, I HAVE read most of “Pity the Nation,” by Robert Fisk, which is generally regarded here as the book on the Lebanese wars of the seventies and eighties. I guess that’s something.
Hopefully tomorrow will be the beginning of momentum. Fingers crossed…

Hi.
I am thinking of moving to the Lebanon to work as a nanny. Came to visit for 2 weeks at the beginnning of the month. Do you have a good network of friends, would you like another? Nannying can be a very solitary job, especially in a country where an english nanny is not the norm. Will be returning just after Christmas if all goes to plan.
