One of the questions that I was asked in that radio interview was about "poverty" in Yemen and I made it sound like it was like we are all poor "I remember saying something about people knocking always on my door".
Poverty is a big deal in Yemen, sometimes it seems like everyone is begging all the time, sometimes kids finish school and begs in the afternoon which makes me so sick sometimes, what should we do about it?
We are still a 3rd world country (or so they say) our economy is 100% oil only!! And there isn't much people can do here but beg and if you do have a job the salary won't do you anything ,the average salary is 200$) and the average flat rent is 100$!!! Should we ask for me salaries? Well we can't because we don't have that much money and our economy is getting worse.
On of the thing the government should focus on is tourism which is a very good and long investment and Yemen is very rich with history and great places to go to beaches, deserts, mountains and many more but maybe "someone" is too stupid to think of that and a lot pf people are telling me that our glorious government is doing any kind of advertisement of any kind (and a lot of people don't even know Yemen and some think it's another Chandler "the guy from friends" joke!!!!).

Asalamualikum,
Its nice to hear the point of views of someone who is living in Yemen currently. Please do keep us updated. My husband and I were considering coming there so that I could study Islam (my Mahr was that he would pay for my islamic education). If you have info on San'a Institute or other schools in your area that are good for a woman to study Arabic and Islam please post it on your site. I know you said that there is a fair amount of economic hardship there do you think there might be oppertunities for a Web Designer? I want to know a bit more about life in San'a and life in Yemen for American Muslim:)
Asalamualikum
