A Beautifully Atypical Day

Sunday, December 27, 2009

One of my favorite experiences on the trip occurred in a cave.

One minute we're visiting a few Bedouins and joking (in Arabic) about the love-life of cats while watching satellite TV; and the next we're being serenaded to a traditional Bedouin tune by the same men who are surprisingly serious about their on-screen appearances.

The only thing typical about this day was the hospitality and kindness of the Bedouin men... and the fact that many caves have satellite TV.


The Bedouin people are a "predominately desert dwelling Arab ethnic group previously nomadic, currently mostly settled."

After living in Korea, I still find moustaches somewhat startling. Just thought I'd share.

I love that you can hear the faint sound of the TV in the background. Wasn't it on Nat Geo?
