What I’ve learned

June 12, 2008

Only two things today.

The average salary for a teacher at a government school is, or was until quite recently, 8,000 Yemeni Riyals per month. That’s about $40.

Hafiz knows what’s up:

The fortunate blessed youth, listen to the old wise soul.
Tell tales of song and wine, seek not secrets of the world,
None has found and no-one will, knowledge leaves this riddle whole.
