Hi all,
I know its been awhile since my last blog. i have been really busy of late. I have been soo busy that i have managed to finish my work at my dads surgery a month a go and afford to get some time off and come with my cuz overseas to the middle east. It has been a worldwind experience. I wouldnt change anything from it.

Parts were stressfull and kept me up nights the cultural differences. But mainly what i still do not like here that has not changed since the last 8 years i have been here is the way the degrade women and here i am trying to come here within my cuz friends and trying to help the girls to become enpowered and make their own choices my cuz says its hard to change the system here and at times it does feel like hitting my head against a brick wall.

Enough ranting for now ill move on to something a lil more pleasent i have visitied dubai and went shopping there and bought two lappys one for me and one for my sister and they were really cheap :)

All in all this trip has been a positive motivating trip that has shown me that i can do my job of counselling here and can deal with everything and anything that comes my way although i did get effected by one of the situations i would have got over it in about 48hrs but straight after that i was bombareded with other sessions lets say and it was non stop and last night was the first night even though we went out with my cuz friends and they asked me all kinds of wiered and wonderful questions i felt at ease and home.

Soo the next time i come here it would b a week to meet the aunty and family and after that come straight to my cuz place whereever that is :)

We will be flying on the 5th back to OZ and then i will be at my dads till june/july then my cuz have a plan to take a road trip to syd will be fun and another experience.

Anyway that will be it for now ttyal
