• Finding the realSahara

  The 1962 movie Lawrence of Arabia left a lasting impression and inspired my desire to see the Sahara. Although movie purists know the sand dunes were not filmed in the Sahara, but in Jordan, Spain and California. I wasn’t about to let that ruin my romantic notions, nor my excitement level, as I’m nearing the end of an Intrepid tour in Morocco and en route to the Sahara Desert.

• Indonesia sex laws Indonesia’s Parliament has passed a long-awaited and controversial revision of its penal code that criminalises extramarital sex and applies to citizens as well as visiting foreigners. The amended criminal code includes several revised articles that make sex outside marriage punishable by a year in jail and cohabitation by six months, but adultery charges must be based on police reports lodged by their spouse, parents or children. It also says the promotion of contraception and religious blasphemy are illegal, and it restores a ban on insulting a sitting president and vice president, state institutions and national ideology. The code maintains that abortion is a criminal offence, but it adds exceptions for women with life-threatening medical conditions and for rape survivors.
