Thanks for posting the video, I expected the old fashoin taboon, the one that is built from mud and hey :) I would die to eat one of this delecious bread. I think we call the bread in the video saaj bread or shraak. I've seen my mom making it several times when I was little. it's so thin and so good. Please send my salaam to the wonderful people of Gaza.. Barak Allah fee Sumoodekum and a bunch of roses from me to you and your lovely family. Salam Laila

It took a couple of days or working around the power outages and inconsistent internet connectivity. In the end I managed to upload it at night (when we had electricity) by keeping my laptop on (the outages are in consistent rotating 8 hour blocks). It was also recorded on my flip, which makes turnaround and conversion much easier Indeed. It took a couple of days or working around the power outages and inconsistent internet connectivity.

I would imagine the baud rate there would be really slow! And there's the inaccessibility of reliable electricity. How are you able to load up video?
