My Adventures in Syria: May 2007
http://bridgetpalmer.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
My Adventures in Syria. On Being the American Wife of a Fulbright Scholar in Damascus. Saturday, May 26, 2007. I love billboards and advertisements in foreign languages. I think there is a lot of language that can be learned just by observing the posters and signs around you. But even if not, there is always fun to be had learning about foreign mascots. Yes, a mustachioed, smarmy Egyptian dressed in Hawaiian style is the face of Squeeze in the Arab world. I was more inclined to buy Squeeze before. The la...
My Adventures in Syria: Call to prayer
http://bridgetpalmer.blogspot.com/2006/06/call-to-prayer.html
My Adventures in Syria. On Being the American Wife of a Fulbright Scholar in Damascus. Tuesday, June 06, 2006. From Jebel Qassion over the city of Damascus is breathtaking, especially as evening falls. There are so many mosques in the city that when the. Comes, the intermingling of the voices of the different muezzins is eerily romantic. All the little green lights are shining from the minarets of every mosque in the city. This is simply stunning! How on earth have I not come across your blog before?
My Adventures in Syria: Smells funny
http://bridgetpalmer.blogspot.com/2006/05/smells-funny.html
My Adventures in Syria. On Being the American Wife of a Fulbright Scholar in Damascus. Sunday, May 21, 2006. Here's another item hanging up at Kuliat al-Adab, except this one was put there by my husband. He saw this advertisement in a newspaper and cut it out to put on their classroom wall (it may not be there anymore). Where else does stuff like this happen? What's not to love? Labels: Odds and Ends. So how long did it take them to come up with the name? Where is your husband teaching? Wadi Rum is an un...
My Adventures in Syria: The Mezze Mural of Mystery
http://bridgetpalmer.blogspot.com/2007/06/mezze-mural-of-mystery.html
My Adventures in Syria. On Being the American Wife of a Fulbright Scholar in Damascus. Sunday, June 10, 2007. The Mezze Mural of Mystery. I used to ride to work drove past this mural every day. And even in a whole year of living in. I was never able to figure out what, exactly, it was a mural. As best as I can figure out, it has something to do with. But that’s about all I’m certain of. It makes only slightly more sense than this. Can anyone figure this out better than I’ve been able to? I don't know abo...
My Adventures in Syria: Bashar and Hafez around town, some more

My Adventures in Syria. On Being the American Wife of a Fulbright Scholar in Damascus. Tuesday, June 12, 2007. Bashar and Hafez around town, some more. In response to a few of the comments from the. Plus, they're fun. Of the regime for someone to buy one. Politics (mostly) aside, I bring you a few more pictures from around Syria. This poster is hanging next to the entrance to the Souq al-Hamadiyye, not far from the statue of Salah ad-Din. It says, "God will protect Syria.". This is actually a gorgeous mu...

My Arabic Mission: Helpful Posts for Jordan Study Abroad Students
http://myarabicmission.blogspot.com/2011/03/helpful-posts-for-jordan-study-abroad.html
Helpful Posts for Jordan Study Abroad Students. Today I was a "guest speaker" in the Jordan Fall 2011 Study Abroad prep class. I am pretty sure I terrified everyone there with my story about language exhaustion and discouragement. Hopefully some of them will look at a few of my blog entries and know that not everything was bad! Anyway, even if none of them look at this, here are a few helpful entries about culture, things to do in Jordan, language learning, and other things. Hints for Sick Travelers.
My Arabic Mission: A “District Conference” in Al-Husn
http://myarabicmission.blogspot.com/2008/05/district-conference-in-al-husn.html
A “District Conference” in Al-Husn. That is how close I am to these forbidden countries! Then, I got off the bus in Irbid, caught a taxi to Al-Husn, and then called President Cotton from Al-Husn, who came and picked us up and took us to the branch house. When I got to the branch house and started explaining about our travels, Sister Cotton asked, “Have you been on a mission? Because you sound like a missionary! The moral of the story?

My Arabic Mission: Baptisms
http://myarabicmission.blogspot.com/2008/09/baptisms.html
In honor of my almost-MTC date (for those who have forgotten, it is the 17th of September! And with the joy that comes from watching others enter into full membership of the church, I thought I would post about the baptisms that I witnessed while I was in Jordan. The man in front-center is Samir. I was able to help with the translating of several of the discussions that he received from the Cooks, the missionary/service couple (and district president) serving in Amman, as they did not speak Arabic. Their...
My Arabic Mission: The University of Jordan
http://myarabicmission.blogspot.com/2010/07/university-of-jordan.html
The University of Jordan. The University of Jordan was a crazy place. Crazy because it was different in. From BYU or other American universities. First of all, everything closed down at 5pm and all the building were shut and locked. When do these people do their homework? Even the library closed pretty early. Thing is, most of the students live at home or at a home with family members (if their parents live too far away) and most of them don't have jobs (and their parents pay for their schooling). The cl...
My Arabic Mission: Hints for Sick Travellers
http://myarabicmission.blogspot.com/2008/06/hints-for-sick-travellers.html
Hints for Sick Travellers. Warning: this post is about illnesses and might be too graphic for the faint of heart- or stomach). Therefore, I thought I would give hints for future travellers who would like to avoid, as much as possible, illnesses that come naturally from eating street food and living in a different country. If you do get sick and can't keep food in in any way, Coke is also another wonderful idea. After your stomach has been emptied and you have lost all sources of nutrients, Gatorade o...
Aleppo Post: I have a BLUE dream
http://aleppost.blogspot.com/2005/07/i-have-blue-dream.html
Sunday, July 17, 2005. I have a BLUE dream. Today is the day that so many Jalaa fans thought it will never come. For more than 20 years, they waited to see their basketball team finally playing for the championship, and actually have a very good chance of winning it. The game will be played against Al-Jaish (last year’s champions) in Damascus, and will be carried live (hopefully! On Syrian satellite channel. Jalaa needs to win, or loose with less than 5 points, to guarantee the championship. Wish u win a...
Aleppo Post: June 2005

Thursday, June 30, 2005. Look Mom.I Can Smoke! In case someone’s wondering; THAT’S NOT ME! I got this photo from the internet. it was taken by a tourist visiting Syria. Anyway, I find it very funny.the lighter and the montage are classic (I am not sure if this is a montage or two guys wearing the same shirt? Posted by Rami at 7:52 AM. Monday, June 27, 2005. The Cathedral of St. Simeon Stylites. Situated on a hill top overlooking the town of Deir Samaan in the 'Afrin Valley, 60 km north west of Aleppo.
My Arabic Mission: "She speaks Arabic!"
http://myarabicmission.blogspot.com/2008/07/she-speaks-arabic.html
Even for those who don't know my personality (although you get a rather large dose of it on my blog), this sounds like it would annoy me. I have for quite a long time wondered why it is considered culturally acceptable to stare at foreigners as though they are some sort of oddity (but then I think of what people in America do when a woman walks by in a hijab or a burka, and I start to understand), especially since I. It was kind of awkward. So then I called my friend and told her that I was waiting for h...
My Arabic Mission: Arab Effectiveness
http://myarabicmission.blogspot.com/2008/08/arab-effectiveness.html
What is the point of having a garbage can if the bottom is open? I am sorry to say this was not uncommon in Jordan! Haha, oh wow. September 2, 2008 at 7:22 AM. It's actually a funnel to direct the trash into the correct place. In this case, the street! September 4, 2008 at 3:49 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

My Arabic Mission: Arabic Phone Calls
http://myarabicmission.blogspot.com/2008/07/arabic-phone-calls.html
Now that I have introduced you to the world of Arabic greetings, I thought that a small taste of Arabic phone calls might be in order. I don't really know how to describe in English how much I despise calling people or receiving calls in Arabic. I like it almost as much as I like going to the dentist to get 11 cavities filled, or getting an intensive, 3-month long Hep shot in 3 weeks, or taking a 3 hour Arabic final. To add to the confusion of this post, let me explain how I bought my phone and how I cam...

Mass Media and News Reporting
Wednesday, June 11, 2008. What controls should be placed on blogs, if any? Do you see them as a wa of distributing power in the culture between traditional media outlets and ordniary individuals? Why or why not? Blogs are just another form of getting out there to the world and letting others how you feel on situations. Sometimes blogs become widely known and that person will become noticed, others do it merely for enjoyment and relaxation, a possible pondering post. Posted by Matt and Bridget Lacey.
