You can't give someone the right to vote one year and take away their right to work the next year. The women in Kuwait are speaking up and the government is doing a backtrack. According to the Kuwait Times, "Kuwait women gathered at the Women Cultural Social Society's headquarters Sunday evening demonstrating their opposition to the law and calling on the government not to endorse the "defective law". Three members of parliament have apologized for voting for the law and are now working to rescind the law and have it declared unconstitutional before it ever becomes reality.
Cruising the Danube
Life on the river often means spots where I can't get a good wifi connection so I'm a bit behind on blogging. I'm going to do this one fast and then get more detailed on the last two stops. I'm sailing with AMA Waterways and the ship is the AmaVerde as seen from the dock in Vidin. Usually I share a bigger cabin with a friend but for this trip we decided to splurge and get our own cabin. Here's my little home for the week. Most of Thursday was on the ship as we sailed from Bulgaria to Serbia. This lock is the second gate of the Iron Gates. Looking over at the dam on the river. View from my cabin. The water is just below the window. There are only three decks on this ship and I'm on Level 3.
