Hanging out in the Muslim Quarter
Originally uploaded by bastchild.
A couple travellers moved into the hostel after a couple nights of being the lone tourist. Ali and Shaz hailed from the UK and had been travelling alone in the Mideast. Ali had spent the last three months in Syria, Iran, and Israel. Shaz had visited Egypt and Jordan and now was on a pilgramage of sorts to Jerusalem.
My hostel, the Golden Gate Inn, was a great place in the Muslim Quarter, but the long-term residents in the dorm were a bit off. There was a 65 year old Palestinian who muttered to anyone who would listen and had a habit of speaking angrily in the dark in the middle of the night, sometimes shouting. There were a couple older blind guys, and a guy who claimed to be an American but kept quiet, to himself, but had a off-putting smirk on his face. A very strange group.
