in Holland

I reached Holland safely this morning. I flew back with my friend Berend. Somehow each of us was able to bring about 180 pounds of luggage on board. The trip was okay. Slept for a bit. Watched a movie called 'Brothers'. It was on my to watch list so that was nice.

Next couple of days I need to find direction, sense and clarity about my life, haha. Well, lets make it not too dramatic.

And I still need to think about what I will do with this blog...?

last week in Oman

My last week here in Oman. Tonight I will pick up my friend Berend from the airport. He decided to come to visit me here last moment. That will be nice. I'll be showing him around a bit here and there. You know, Oman.

A last week in Oman. Wrapping things up for my work here. Saying goodbye to people and places. I mean, I have been through leaving places a couple of times now. And it does feel like cutting yourself loose from something important. Feels like dying a little bit. Although I don't really know how that really feels. But yeah, it will be weird stepping on that airplane and not knowing if or when I will return here. It reminds me of South America, when I was saying good bye there. Its part of the choices I make in life.

sweat baby sweat...

... temperatures are rising. During the day you just don't want to be outside. It is approximately 45 degrees (113F) outside now. Like walking in an oven. Cannot believe that it temperatures are actually going to go up even more. Cannot believing that people used to live here without AC.

Went to the beach yesterday evening for a walk. That was really good though. A nice and cool breeze. Walking in the relatively cool sea water. Hearing gentle touch of the waves touching the sea shore. Good company. Good conversations.

Mentally I am preparing on going back again to Holland. Two and a halve week. Cannot believe it is almost time return. I am going to miss this place greatly.
