Mary translates
We are very dependent on interpreters to get the fine points right. Here, one of our regulars, Mary, translates a greeting from the Sheikh and explains Iraqi customs for the Ma-Dheef, or hospitality tent. Without Mary, you can have accidents like "one meeting every two weeks" being taken as "a meeting every day for two weeks"... OOPS!
