Dear Ducks,
For the past several months, I’ve given great thought to Son of a Duck, and for the time being, I feel that it is time to place the venerable quack into retirement. Writing as SOAD in America doesn’t feel quite right — and I will leave it up to Fate to determine whether or not I will resurrect it once I hit the Middle East once more. I have a feeling I will. Ducks are hardy things, after all.
But I mentioned a new beginning, didn’t I?
Bothered by fan messages (never!) and after looking with serious envy at the wonderful work of the Food Jihadist (masha’Allah!), I’ve decided to make a move, a renovation, and take on a new name.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the Occidental Orientalist. Same friendly source, but with a new name, “new look.”
The blogging continues on the other side of the Atlantic, under new auspices, many of the same topics. Please renew your subscriptions there!
Until that day when this duck sets sail to parts unknown once more, I remain, quite fondly (and gratefully),
Yours,
Son of a Duck
Hey, I saw that you were an English teacher in Egypt. I was wondering if you know any places I can look online to do something like that? Do you need to have specific credentials? I spent 2 months last summer in Palestine and I would like to go back to the region but not one that is occupied by Israelis.
Thanks for anything you can help me with, if anything!
