I know, cheesy title.
Closing Time got stuck in my head when I started to think about writing this post. Can't help it, I think they embedded the song into my brain the year I graduated from college. :-)
I was thinking about endings because it's the end of November, which means the end of NaBloPoMo, but it is not the end of the regular blog postings. I've enjoyed my month of daily postings, and hope to stick with it. It's the first time in my life that I've ever written daily, and I kinda like it!
Please let me know what you would like to know more about. What do you want to know about life in Ramallah?
Some things that I've been thinking of:
Interviews with local people
Recipes
Daily Photo
Political Analysis (of course)
Non-violent Action Reports (because they happen all the time, and people rarely hear about them)
What do you think?

Hi! Just a reader from USA FL. I've been reading your blog here for a few weeks and have enjoyed seeing a slice of life in Palestine from your eyes. I would love to hear more about daily life in that part of the world, and more about the struggles the Palestinians are going through. Surely you know that all we here are the Israeli points of view (as "poor victims of all the attacks") and I have had the feeling for quite a while that we're not hearing even half of the REAL story. Especially not from the other side.
I admit there is a TON I don't know about that part of the world, the cultures there and the politics, but ever since hearing about the building of that wall all I can think of is the wall that was built around the Jewish getto in Poland (in the movie The Pianist). I don't understand how what Israelis are doing to the Palestinians is all that different from what the Nazi's did to the Jews. I know it's not the Holocaust yet, not even close, but didn't things start this way?
Hmm, so much for a short comment. Um, yeah, I'd like to hear more about the daily situation from your side of that wall.
Keep on keeping on! Folks are listening!
