“(I’m going to play something Egyptian on this Egyptian drum. It’s actually Arabic music. It is half improvised, half innovator. Actually…) Do you know Arabic? (No, I don’t speak much. But I play… This music is for belly dancing, which is also an Egyptian traditional dance.)”“(We are going to improvise, so you never know. We have done it before at the book fair in Frankfurt. And we had another instrument and I had another, but I don’t have it today.) Thank you very much.” “Well, I really have a big-time sympathy for you guys, the long-legged. It’s difficult for you to cross your legs, no? (Yes.) Do you know why we have to cross legs when we meditate now, since ancient times? (Yeah.) Because of that - no room! Where would you want to put your legs? If everybody sat with their legs in the front, that’s it! Then only a few of us can sit here and the rest sit in the square in the front, in the front yard. Wow! Now all the tradition comes to that. Well, we also have to thank the performers. (Yes.) They were a small group, but they are very professional, no? (Yes.) Well, some of them. We also have to thank some of the people here. And the ones who organized all this. They worked very diligently to bring this together. We thank them. Good food, huh? (Very nice. Yes!) Thanks again!”
