Things I Have Learned So Far in Syria:

Sandstorms (or, more accurately, duststorms) are way less romantic in person, especially after you have cleaned dirt out of the crevices of your ears, your nose, your teeth, and the inside of your eyelids.

I was in a Texas dust storm once, so it probably wasn't quite as bad. But it was the first time I ever really appreciated the bandanna. *hug*

Sounds painful. Especially the inside eyelid part. Have you been stuck in many while you're out there?

[wordkink.livejournal.com]

Ugh! But you are very, very tough and hopefully you have eye wash or at least clean water to help you out. *hugs* Is the rest of your trip going well? I be there's all kinds of awesome things goin' on there. :D

Oh ugh! My poor darling baby. I had no idea it was so dreadful. We will spend a lot of time in water when you get back. No sand except lying quietly as it should on teh beach..

Bandannas- or impromptu ones made out of headscarves- are awesome.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Yep. They were pretty common, actually, probably averaging once or twice a week, though they weren't all as strong as they could be.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Heh, yep, I managed through, with eye wash and all! *hugs* They rest of it was lots of fun, and even the windstorms had a certain impressive fantastic-ness to them.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Heh, yep.

Did you take your malaria pills?

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

I did, though I got my prescription changed to a different drug, one with fewer side effects. In fact, I'm still taking them, since I have to continue with them for four weeks after returning.

Oh, good.
