Ashababiya Libyan National TV Interview

Libyan national TV, morning show, Tripoli, August 10th - the day before Ramadan began. This is the segment they released to me in the studio.

Lots of Arabic, mostly they discuss where Majede and I met (Couchsurfing.com), and Majede handles some other questions about what I've been experiencing in Libya so far.
My first TV interview(except for internet TV - see http://www.parasaber.com/deportes/bicicletas/rutas/video/bicicleta-rutas-bici...) and it was pretty unnerving. They wouldn't let me spread my legs apart, keep your hands on your knees... and I think Majede was afraid I'd embarass him in front of Qadaffi - he doesn't actually translate the beer comment, for example.... =)
I've also been told that they never once mention that I am adventuring around the world BY BICYCLE !!! I guess it's sensational enough that I'm a tourist in Libya?

PS Had to cut a tiny bit of the ending, but it was just commercials.
