Was this questioner so well disguised that you couldn't tell whether he was a man or not?
"After Dophinarium and before Sbaro bombings" was more than three years ago. I think the person who interviewed me was a woman. But thinking about it now, it occurred to me that there might be some Jewish male travelers who wouldn't be comfortable talking to a woman not their wife, and so maybe my recollection wasn't correct, so maybe the Israelis wouldn't have women interviewing men. Okay?
