Where I've been for the past year

This article in the Chronicle of Higher Education gives a fairly reliable account of the place I spent most of the last year. They're not kidding about social circles- in that classroom shot I recognised nearly everybody and am friends with about half of them on Facebook.

There are also a couple of wee insights into the slavering madness that lurked just outside the armed guards and barbed wire fences.

Interesting reading. There is a certain sense, just beneath the surface of the article, of KAUST being balanced on a couple of somewhat uncertain tight-ropes.

An interesting article there, ta for the linkage.

Read a bit like a puff-piece to be honest. I much prefer our own Nick's reports of life there! Much more illuminating.
