		<description><![CDATA[Yemen is often perceived, by Yemenis and foreigners alike, as an insular entity, impervious to cultural interchange. Nowhere is the falsity of this perception more evident than in Malaysia. Yemeni culture, customs and history are evident in every corner of this multi-ethnic Southeast Asia country.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On a main street in Sanaa, Mohannad smiles down daily from a Turkish Airlines billboard at drivers and pedestrians. He should be happy. The finale of the Turkish soap opera he starred in, titled “Noor” in its Arabic version on MBC, was watched by 85 million Arab viewers aged 15 and older, MBC Marketing Director Mazen Hayek announced at a conference in Beirut last year. That’s a quarter of the total Arab population, or 1 in 4 Arabs who watched it. And the majority of them were women. 2008 and 2009 saw the unprecedented Mohannad fever spread across the Middle East, T-shirts of him and Noor reportedly outselling Saddam’s.

The popularity of “Noor” says something significant about the state of Arabs today.]]></description>
