We are sitted at the bustop, feels like Kenya bus station in Nairobi, really noisy and drivers confused! Our bus was supposed to be here 25mins ago! No sign of it! Sitted on the bench listening to the noises and the wonderful birds choir! I waste no time zoobing  so am gonna tell you about our wonderful cultural dinner experience! You guessed again, we waited so long for the bus I almost lost consciousness from hunger. I am the kind of people when invited for dinner, skips lunch. I get myself prepared to eat! The only time I eat before is when am attending a Finnish party because they do snacks and salad! I learnt that on my 1st party is Finland! Had to drag my hungry ass by McDonald's after the party.  Again nobody apologizes in this country, it takes me way back to Kenya, things just flow, who cares? I do! Anyway, the bus finally came and our journey began! I was suprised none of us got nauseated, the sudden braking, taking u-turns anywhere and everyone hooting! Took me back...

Since i got some internet, i have been like a crazy kid and all i did yesterday after orientation was FaceTime the love of my life, it was amazing, it was like oh wow! Like i had come from some village in my Africa, flew miles away and then saw them in my room! Right infront of my screen! We gotta give it up for Steve Jobs! Apple was the best thing that happened to me/us.. Ooh is this crap now?, are you only interested on how my move to this conservative country is going? Forget my mesmerized heart and read on..but you do know how it is when you are mesmerized right? When the arrow goes right through? Right? No? Never mind... shot from my bedroom window!  Waking up to sunny weather was the best feeling!, the blue skies and the smell of dust from the dessert! A quick sip of Arabian tea, which was absolutely tasty, dressed loosely like the 80's and  hit the compound looking to buy an Abaya! The feel of wind breeze on my toes was blissfull! Sandles and red coloured toes! When you...

I have to say, so far, this is the hardest move i have had to make, and i had no idea how hard it would be to say goodbye to my partner, our pets, our home and friends till the day before departure. It was difficult to have dinner not knowing when is the next time you sit on your dinning table. The realisation of no more dinner time talks to find out how each others day was will be reduced to phonecalls just reduced us to tears And they havent dried since, to say the least, the final hugs were heartbreaking and i was miserable all the 11hrs to the land of the King. My connecting Flight was in Istanbul! I thought of having a beer to calm my tears and to pass my two hours there! Since I had been adviced not to take any alcoholic beverages on my way to Saudi, I asked for a small pint! I was sure to pee it out before boarding, haha. Some of us are on alcohol level after 5 pints so 1 was still water to me, thank Finland for shaping my metabolic system! I then proceeded to the boarding gate ...
