Back in May I made some cosmetic changes to this blog to reflect more my life in Ramallah. An explanation of the new look is a little overdue. (If you have subscribed and are reading this in an email format you will have to visit the actual blog page for this to make any sense.)The new background is an artificially aged satellite picture of Ramallah extracted from Google Earth. My office, from where I'm writing this now, is just above the 'b' in the 'Ramallah Ramblings' title at the top of the page. Just above the 's' in the title is Manara Square, a mini Trafalgar complete with lions, which marks the centre of town and the location of these photos of the World Cup and 'El Clasico' celebrations last year. My apartment is about 3 inches to the south hidden by these words. (Click on the picture to the right for an unobstructed view.)
