THE SIGHTS 2

CUTE KID
(Odai's wee brother. The coolest wee kid. Odai is
one of the local volunteers and his family was one
of the families I helped out with olive picking.)

CUTE BABIES
(One was related to Odai, the other to a family friend.)

LOCAL BARBER
(All the male international volunteers are currently sporting
moustaches, in support of 'Movember', and we've managed
to persuade a couple of the locals to join in too. Elvis has
been helping some of the lads with their grooming.)

CONTEMPORARY DANCE AT DAR AL-FANOON
(Music centre in OId Askar camp.)

MURAL AT DAR AL-FANOON
(Or a wee part of it, anyway.)

MURAL AT DAR AL-FANOON
(Another wee part.)

NABLUS BY NIGHT
(View from Sama Nablus)

SIGN IN THE LOCAL CINEMA
(Don't go and see 'Salt'. It's garbage.)

OLIVE OIL FACTORY
(I got to visit the factory at the end of the last day I went
olive picking. Sadly the olive picking season's over now.)

OLIVE OIL
(Apparently, in Europe they add an extra couple of steps
to the process of extracting the oil. This means they get
more oil out of the olives, but that they lose some of the
taste. Palestine doesn't do that, so the quality of the
olive oil is that bit better. You have no idea how nice
the olive oil tasted when it was straight out of the
machine. Yes, I did stick my finger in.)

One more load of photos to come.
