The HGC Show: Episode 1, Yemeni Election Special

Welcome to the first episode of the HGC show. It's kind of like this blog, except with sound. And video. Polyglot Poetry and Youtube are the exclusive homes of the HGC Show. Accept no imitations or substitutions.

It's in Arabic (yes, I know there are mistakes all over the place, I didn't catch them until after the final version. Some of the mistakes occured in the narration, though my notes were correct, and some were there all along). It has English subtitles, and educated speakers of both languages will be able to tell that I am not a translator, and sometimes the Arabic was a direct translation of the English in my head, and sometimes the English subtitales are a very stilted direct translation from when the words came directly channeled in Arabic. The important thing is that I now know what to do next time, as this is my first video EVER. If I get really into this I'll have to buy a real video camera and a microphone when I'm back in the States, instead of using my digital still camera and the microphone in my computer.

This is a mostly serious news broadcast, meant to demonstrate to my family that I really can speak Arabic (they don't believe me!), and that my hair is somewhat red. If you watch the whole news segment you get a cool surprise at the end! Enjoy!
