I'm looking for the right place to carry out a research grant in the middle east. Yemen seems so interesting but would I be welcome or scorned as an American woman?

I'm a photojournalist but my grant would be more about social living I don't have to arrive as a photojournalist I can come as a scholar for my grant

. I haven't been about to find much info about journalists in Yemen and wonder what is going on.

I know there was protesting last year 2011 but would like to know if things have settled down. How are feelings towards Americans such as myself- American woman? The news is so sporadic and unreliable it's hard to know. I would appreciate any objective and honest first hand information. I would love to come to Yemen but I also want to feel safe enough to walk down a street with my camera. thank you . please email me at sbjorkgren at Yahoo.com please feel in the spaces and change at to @. I'm trying to avoid spam.

thanks in advance

I'm thinking of visiting Sana'a old city in November for 3days from Japan...
What is the situation currently in Sana'a? I wouldn't be in danger if I stay most of the time in the old city? I even worry the road from the airport to Sana'a...
