I noticed that you are interested in Anthropology. What field are you interested in?
I was taken in by the anthropology pretty early on. I started out with archaeology, and worked about 8 field seasons. But my degree is in cultural anthro . . . . well, I suppose technically my concentration is in Ethnographic journalism, which is just more or less applied ethnography for the purpose of writing articles.
Hello Rich,
Yeah, I was taken in by the anthropology pretty early on. I started out with archaeology, and worked about 8 field seasons. But my degree is in cultural anthro . . . . well, I suppose technically my concentration is in Ethnographic journalism, which is just more or less applied ethnography for the purpose of writing articles.
At some point I hope to work on a full scale and proper ethnographic project . . . perhaps this autumn I will start in El Salvador.
How about you? You are in Oman, correct? How did you end up there? Are you an anthropologist?
Yeah, that guy at the hotel in Eilat was the spitting image of a mafia boss . . . it is interesting that you half way confirmed these suspicions. How were you rifted?
Thanks for writing.
Walk Slow,
Wade

Original question about anthropology
I noticed that you are interested in Anthropology. What field are you interested in? By the way, I had been to Eliat also and got rifted by the mafia.

Something’s different here.
Fleeing Turkey’s Covid lockdowns and a hotel fire, Nomadic Backpacker is free again. But is he at the end of the road?
The “fascist” may be gone but now we’re primed to get a taste of what authoritarianism really is.
Tips from someone who’s been doing it from the start.
One candidate says no more lockdowns, the other wants to put us in plexiglass boxes.
Ghost Cities of China is a book which recounts the two and a half years I spent on the ground investigating China’s empty new cities. Pull back the dark veil on the New China and find out what the country is really all about.
