Salem to Sydney
http://sydney2salem.blogspot.com/2015/05/hummus-great-gateway-food-today-is.html
Wednesday, 13 May 2015. Hummus: 'the great gateway food'. Today is international hummus day! I will make some hummus to mark this important celebration. Hummus is easy to make, healthy, cheap, tasty and most importantly, it’s flexible! As I saw written today somewhere on the interwebs, hummus is the gateway food to your fridge. Mmmmm ‘what can I eat with this hummus today? 8217; is a regular question in our household. But wait! Without even realising it. Best to make it yourself. 1 cup of dried chickpeas.

Salem to Sydney: Leaving Iraq
http://sydney2salem.blogspot.com/2013/07/leaving-iraq.html
Tuesday, 30 July 2013. Not my image but gives you an idea of Sulayminyah. Image by P O from Panaramio.com. Amna Suraka Museum "Red Intelligence Museum". Former Ba'ath intelligence headquarters and prison where many innocent Kurds, including women and children were tortured and killed. Now a very eerie museum. Some very realistic models of torture methods. The capital, Erbil. Heavy My sensible self told me that I should have left him then and there, but my curiousity got the better of me. The river that f...

Salem to Sydney: October 2011
http://sydney2salem.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Friday, 28 October 2011. Salem sweeps song contest! In other news, I've recently held my first aussie rules training with my older boys. After a bit of hesitation - "Miss Ella, can we just play normal. Football". I was pleasantly surprised by their kicking and handballing skills. Next training we're going to work on marking which will undoubtedly be a lot of fun. I don't want to jump the gun here, but I have a feeling that I may just produce the best AFL team Palestine has ever seen! Today I rode through...

Blogging Egypt: February 2012
http://bloggingegypt.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
My social and political commentary on the world - from Egypt to Italy and beyond. Thursday, February 16, 2012. Finding cross-cultural reality in a sweet pea. When I was young, my grandfather kept a large garden at the end of our yard. He grew many things, but my favorite was the sweet peas. They ripened in early spring, usually just before Easter, around the same time daffodils were sprouting bright and yellow among the spring greenery. It’s been years since I was home in the spring to raid pea-pod...

Salem to Sydney: Mediterranean Meanderings
http://sydney2salem.blogspot.com/2012/08/mediterranean-meanderings.html
Tuesday, 14 August 2012. A few days ago marked two months since I stepped off the plane in Istanbul. It's strange for me to think I've been here for that long. It still only feels like yesterday that I was taking in all the sights and sounds of crazy Istanbul. So where have I been and what have I been doing since then? Cenk L and Ersin R. Assistant Assistant Director L and Assistant Director R. Exploring the ancient Lycian city of Kaunos, near Dalyan. Devrim trying to play the drums. View from the balcony.

Salem to Sydney: April 2012
http://sydney2salem.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, 30 April 2012. 3rd Annual Palestinian Fun Run. Last weekend some friends and I decided to participate in the 3. My team - the Nabulsi Ninjas. Waiting to start the race. Running/walking through Birzeit village. We don't like hills. I estimated around 1000 people, maybe more, participating in the race plus many more volunteers and spectators. It was great to see people of all ages and backgrounds participating. I think the 2. Placed female was a young girl who looked about 7 years old. There we...

My social and political commentary on the world - from Egypt to Italy and beyond. Tuesday, October 18, 2011. To tell the story of Egyptians with humanity. I'll be honest: sometimes I wonder why I'm a journalist in Egypt. It's because Egyptians inspire me. When you cover a happy story, cover it with joy," she said. "When you cover a sad story, cover it with compassion.". To be objective does not mean to be heartless. A good journalist must write with humanity. I've often wondered what, exactly, is my role...

A Nabulsi Story: December 2011
http://ussanabulsiyeh.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, 30 December 2011. Chapter 95 The 40. They're called 'The 40'. The 40 coldest days in Nablus. Stretching from end of December til beginning of February when temperatures drop to about 3 °C and it feels like it's always raining. It is wet, bitterly cold and generally miserable. Especially as most people walk. Or take taxis around town. Now I know many of you live in places where the temperature plummets. Down to insane levels and you are forced to tunnel your way through snow. Once the 40 hits for ...
