Ich kann dir da nicht ohne weiteres zustimmen. Meine Meinung ist da eine andere. Gibt es da noch andere Infos auf anderen Internetseiten? Ich bin übrigens ein echter Stammleser von Deinem Blog, Mach einfach weiter so.

Off topic: your Y chromosome, Saudi life knowledge. and Western life knowledge are needed for commenting on my newest post:

And since I am neither genderist nor ethnicist, I really hope all will read and comment as well! LOL

Great photos! I'll admit that I don't know much about squash besides my knowledge of the Khan dynasty (sounds like something you would hear when talking about Bollywood ;P).

Ramy Ashour is pretty good-looking. Hook a sister up, yo!

PS Oh, I just remembered! I did swim in a pool with a glass wall, during a training weekend for Phys Ed teachers in France, where I was pretending to be more than just a volunteer one. It was a great coaching tool, and the coach had a great deal of fun seeing how weird a combination he could make up and I could still do a length of it (L leg whip kick, right leg flutter kick, L arm sculling, R arm breast stroke). Poor man, teaching swimming to a bunch of volleyball, basketball, etc players, he was quite shocked to have a swimmer in the group! LOL

At one point even the Canadian squash champion was Pakistani, or at least a Pakistani Canadian with the requisite brownness. My Dad played European handball for years–hmmm bad knees, handball, worse knees…Racqetball has a bigger racquet but otherwise, yes, white cell territory.

Swimming pools with glass walls, YES! A synchronized swimmer's dream– or nightmare, depending on the coach's/judge's choice of critiquing. position. On the other hand, spectators, hmmmm… Maybe the football guys would agree to share more of the uni athletic budget in the interest of…, of…, of sportsmanship! LOL

Easy, I stayed off the courts and in the pool Now if a pool had glass walls, we'd be TALKING. Of course it would be weird to see people hanging outside the pool staring at the ermm, swimmers…

I actually did spend a lot of time back in highschool playing raquetball. Even more dreadful windowless cell that is, since even the ceiling and the entire back wall is a valid play area. I wasn't particularly good, despite my inherent brown-ness. Guess I should've picked squash

Ah I wish the time of Jahangir and Jansher was back, but it looks like the Egyptians will be running the show for a while now.
