A few quick responses based on my experiences in Gaza, which is of course a very different place:
1. Exactly the same! 4. Do the little Iranian schoolgirls ask, "How are you?" That's the one phrase everyone in Gaza remembers from the English classes they all took. 8. I remember telling friends at the churches in Gaza they should have kiosks to sell icons and stuff to all the foreign visitors. Their equally sensible response was, "Don't they have such things in your countries?" So instead, if you want to find Christian knick-knacks, you have to go to the same souvenir shops that sell Hamas and Islamic Jihad schwag. 9. I'm glad you're more of an adult about that sort of thing than me. Whenever people from North America or northern - but not southern - Europe were standing in some receiving line, a helpful Palestinian would typically dart ahead of us to tell this or that dignitary that the foreigners ought not be kissed. Did everyone consistently demand that you sit in whatever was supposed to be the best chair?
