It will be a great adjustment on my part so I hope  to learn a lot from this site.

Hi.

Yes, I live in Yemen for 7 months now. I live here with my family and we live in with a yemeni family, so we really had to addapt to their culture and lifestyle. Which is not easy if you are from Europe, but thank God I hope we have managed.

If you are interested in knowing more about yemen, I just started to write a blog about my life here plus a few Yemeni traditional recipes.

I hope you'll enjoy reading my blog:
