Has anyone here been to Yemen? [View all]

I'm thinking of taking 5 weeks of language classes in Sana'a in May and June.

What did you think? How was the climate? What kind of groceries are available? Is the food super spicy? Are there only Turkish toilets? I'd appreciate any information anyone could offer.
