Hi Scott,

point number five totally surprised me It must be very strange feeling to be recognized by a waiter in Istanbul…

I have another trip tip for you – you have to visit Prague, I’m sure you’d make some wonderful shots there And maybe I’ll run to you somewhere in old town, exposing a czech version of any of your books!

Sincerely

Michal Vratny

i hope you enjoyed your trip, about thinking that arab people will not treated you good (that’s wrong) every one thinks that arab are just the same as osma bin laden ??? there is good people and there is bad people. in my country we do really like ppl espeically from USA and UK. the same thing for the arab when they travel abroad, they are afraid that they will not be treated good becuz they dont like them ( becuz of many reasons one of them what osama had did ) we are not as osama and we dont like him because he is killing arabic muslim too ( idont know what he thinks of) by the way i just want to explain for you. we treat all the ppl the same.. hopw you enjoyed the food their, for me we dont like to eat egypt food ( we think its not clean) :/
but we see istanbul ppl, they dont look like arab ppl, they are like usa (dont you think) ?
your wife remind me of cairo actress (in the old movie) black n white. she is cute..

We did a Nile cruise in 2004 and in deference to your comment about President Bush’s popularity there I recall talking with an Egyptian shop owner on our ship, The Queen Nabila. He made mention that our President was not one to waver from his plan. He said that he respected his steadfastness and liked that about President Bush.

It is cool reading what you experienced while traveling. I have traveled around the world to many great places (but have yet many more places to go!) and always, always find people friendly and willing to engage in conversation…..sometimes even if you can’t speak the same language.

We are a big world but so small in many ways. We all want the same things; love, dignity and respect.

Glad you had a great time. and BTW – your wife is lovely and you posted a nice photograph of her!

Your comments about people everywhere being basically the same is one of the reasons exchange student programs are one more step to world peace. (without sounding too hokey) We have hosted 5 high school students over the years through AFS, there are many other good programs too, and to see that their families, as you say, are just like ours is very neat. If anyone can consider hosting I believe it does help make the world a smaller and better place.

A sad day? Hmmm, I’d prefer to have friends than enemies.

I once met some extreme Canon shooters but after I shook their hand and got to know then they turned out to be just like me. We were able to talk about our differences and we learned something about each other and you know what? We both shared a love for photography so it didn’t really matter what camera we were using. And when we were friends, we could work together to make photography better for all of us.

Yes, as you can see, we’re all just the same the world over.

Scott,

Thanks for the comments and they echo what I tell everyone about my experiences abroad. People want to be treated with respect and love a smile and an effort to show our individual humanity. Great post and I hope a lot of people see this and understand that the world is one big place but that the people really aren’t that much different from us.
