Aden (/ˈɑːdɛn/ AH-den; Arabic: عدن ʻAdan) is a seaport city in South Yemen, located by the eastern approach to the Red Sea (the Gulf of Aden), some 170 kilometres east of Bab-el-Mandeb. Its population is approximately a million people. Aden's ancient, natural harbour lies in the crater of a dormant volcano which now forms a peninsula, joined to the mainland by a low isthmus. This harbour, Front Bay, was first used by the ancient Kingdom of Awsan between the 5th and 7th centuries BCE. The modern harbour is on the other side of the peninsula.
Aden consists of a number of distinct sub-centers: Crater, the original port city; Ma'alla, the modern port; Tawahi, known as "Steamer Point" in the colonial period; and the resorts of Gold Mohur. Khormaksar, located on the isthmus that connects Aden proper with the mainland, includes the city's diplomatic missions, the main offices of Aden University, and Aden International Airport (the former British Royal Air Force station RAF Khormaksar), Yemen's second biggest airport. On the mainland are the sub-centres of Sheikh Othman, a former oasis area; Al-Mansura, a town planned by the British; and Madinat ash-Sha'b (formerly Madinat al-Itihad), the site designated as the capital of the South Arabian Federation and now home to a large power/desalinization facility and additional faculties of Aden University.

watch scooby doo to hold on to your past
But it won't help
Can't you realize your getting old
Your friends take you to a rave
Or to some show
But you just walk around and look down
As your ears begin to sweel
And they tell me that I'm not as fun as before
But I'm happier like this
You don't have to take me out
I don't want to go
I don't want to go to New York
It makes me want to die
Play indie pop to show that your still hip
But you get bored
So you get up and you switch to jazz
Play punk rock to show that your still hard
But your lips are far too tender
And it hurts when you lie down
And I'll probably never dance with you again
But I'm happier like this
You don't have to take me out
I don't want to go
I don't want to go to New York
It makes me want to die
