About this ebook
Meet Shazam the Jordanian taxi driver, the boys in the Sea of Shoeshine, Mr Ali and his famous Green Door Pizza in Jerusalem, Russell from Noosa, and the Great Paperweights of Giza as you travel on a journey of adventure, mishaps, revelations, architectural wonders, and lack of plumbing, though Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey. And dont forget the Cats of Istanbul, the Cairo Cat Shop, and Camel School and the Art of Haggling .
In 1997, architect Mahalath Halperin, together with her colleague and his wife, Peter and Pauline Buckwell, spent four crazy weeks travelling by plane, train, and automobile throughout the Middle East on a journey to discover architecture, culture, and of course, plumbing. And they found lots of cats along the way. This is the story of that adventure.
Mahalath Halperin
Mahalath Halperin, whilst an architect by training, has also written and produced a variety of books, from photo essays on sustainability to travels with cats and several children’s books. This story comes from the heart and from her own experiences, following the passing of both her parents in a short space of time. Mahalath lives and works in regional New South Wales, Australia, with her husband, extensive garden, and their crazy cat on which several of her books are based.
