My computer is now up and running again so photos soon to come! I'll not confuse the chronology though and so go back to the last June photos from Vilnius first...
In the meantime, some reading links:
ICG has a new report on Gaza, warning the world for the consequences of seeing (too) positively on viewing the Palestinian rift positively for a renewed peace process.
A short MERIP followup on the Turkish elections.
Some comments on the morality crackdown in Iran, on clothes and parties.
And Newsweek on the booming development in the Gulf. The following 2 links are Newsweeks Internet-extra-material, on Abu Dhabi labour sources and on Sharjah's thwarted cultural bid.
Finally, MERIP also on Dubai.
And some travel tips in Turkey from the English-language Zaman: on Ishak Pasha's Palace near Mt Ararat and on lesser-known Istanbul favourites (even if some of them will be familiar to you through this blog!).
BBC on Alexander the Great's Kuwaiti legacy!
Thank you Carpet-blogger for this piece on a rundown Istanbul neighbourhood, but with both human and cultural potential.
