Hamid

Doris's right hand man is Hamid (Hah-mead). He's in charge of running the WTTW school here.



In this country, it's very unusual for this culture for a male to be in a role like this. You see, males cannot teach or be in charge of women while inside (like in a school setting for instance) but it might be OK to be in charge of a group of women working in the fields, like harvesting crops outside. There are lots of interesting cultural normality's here that just aren't typical in the U.S..

Getting back to Hamid, he's also an aspiring medical student and snazy dresser. He's definitely got style. He drives a red Toyota Corolla with a German sticker on the back. Gip thinks he looks like James Bond. He also speaks excellent English and carries himself well. He's the kind of person you want to know in a place like this.


Driving:
Since there are no street names, lights or anything at all for people, drivers, bikers or animals wandering the streets to be aware of what your doing while your driving, it's a LITTLE bit hectic.


Hamid has driven us throughout the city a lot and is an excellent driver. I asked him how he deals with all this insanity and his explanation was "Corey, you must consider that everyone else is crazy and you are the only one which is not". Well, it must work, because his car is dent free. I think I could probably apply that bit of knowledge in other areas of my life as well.


Thanks Hamid.
