Back!

Testing, the waters.

In The Netherlands again.

Just came to sort out a few things and check out the place. ....... Not impresses, maybe i am just pessimistic, but all seems to have gone down the drain. No kidding. I see the robot like reactions, the herd mentality, the 'burgelijke' people.

October

Still job hunting. Time consuming and oft frustrating quest, But, I am hanging in there. Making friends and finding my way, so is he.
Pictures are still a problem, but, i keep taking them and one of these days i will upload.

The Right attitude.

U are going to need it. If you are impatient, rude, solitary (as in, thinking you are being polite by minding your own business, not interfering with others and expecting them to do same to you), think again. Wrooonnnggg country.
However, if you cultivate a smiling, friendly, patient mien. Well, a lot can happen to pleasantly surprise you. This is not to say there will not be times when u want to tear out your hair in frustration, But..... keep smiling. Think of it as a learning experience which will help, in other places and other situations.

May till July 2008

It's been quite an experience. Positive, negative, ridiculous. First and foremost, anyone who tells you it is Utopia here is just out on a propaganda tour.
I will write at lenght about all that has transpired in the last few months. It has been almost impossible to do because of my fantastic internet connection and i am not really a fan of internet cafes or maybe i am just plain lazy.

we are here!!

I have tried countless times to upload pictures. All ended up in dissapointments, same as right now. We arrived, safe and sound. He starts at an international school in east cantonments which naturally means i have to find something affordable in the vicinity, no mean task.

I have just about given up and i am considering djorwulu and abelemkpe.

When i say affordable, i mean between $500 and $800 which you can virtually forget in the center except it is self-contained or a 2 bedroom appartment or something of the sort.

Yesterday i discovered a restaurant called "The house of ovation", on a side street of the oxford street, just next to "exotic wares" an upmarket boutique. My type of food.
