End-of-Year Exams

It's time for the end-of-year exams! This week some schools have already started, while others will start tomorrow. First the little ones, then the older ones, etc. And then... it's summer vacation again. What do Yemenis usually do in the summer vacation? Well, nothing special. Some might travel to their village for a little while, some may send their children to a Quran or English language program, but most kids simply have all the time to play and help their parents at home or at work. Also, Ramadhan is in the middle of summer these years - a time for fasting and not for having fun, which comes on Eid, after the month of Ramadhan.

Modern Browser

Blogger doesn't work with the old browser anymore, and finding a modern browser is not always easy here. This is the reason why I haven't been able to update my blog for a while. Anyway, things are more or less the same here - not better, not worse.
