Aden, South Yemen

A boy selling shark.
Nobody buys them, but he smiles.

Aden is located east of Djibouti.
One year before I've been there, North and South Yemen are annexed.
So, their life style was in a middle of changing from Communism to Liberalism, when I've been there.
But I thought they really did'nt understand what is the Liberalism.
Because, the black-marketing rate is two times cheeper than official rate.

In 1995, I heared the news that North Yemen has captured Aden.
It sounded so strange to capture in same country.
Arabian countries are hardly understandable.

I met a Japanese guy, Mr.Murata.
He has been sent by Japanese Goverment for O.D.A. as a captain of fishing boat.
His task is the fishing instruction to native peple.
I was very happy to meet him who asists the developing countries.
