The men also wiggle their hips when they dance, in Egypt.

(Men can do just about anything in Egypt and not be considered effeminate since women can't do anything much outside the home apart from be covered in black fabric.)

Wow, congratulations! It’s been incredible watching your journey from afar. Really makes me want to travel to new places. (I think I may not do it by car, though.)

You can travel by rail from Portugal to Pyongyang. Or Saigon. Do it!

Oh beautiful. It's really neat to hear about that gradient.

It was one of my most persistent fascinations for at least ten years! I am so thrilled and delighted and overjoyed to be immersed in the reality of it!
