#1 You know your life sucks if improving it means moving to Yemen.

#2 I was there for a few hours in the mid-60s just before Aden became the Peoples Democratic Republic. It was one of the scariest places in the world then and I doubt it is any better now.

#3 Mr. Wife was offered an assignment in Yemen once. He was so very happy to be able to say, "Sorry. Couldn't possibly. Jewish wife, y'know." That whole Jewish wife thing kept us from being transferred to Saudi Arabia, too, so he isn't complaining at all. ;-)

Yemen does not seem like the kind of civilized place I would be happy in -- by all accounts even further lost from history than Afghanistan was. They have not benefitted at all from ejecting their Jewish dhimmis.
