in less than 72 hours i should be back home again.

2 months fly by, but instead of feeling comforted, i'm quite scared at the speed time can fly. opportunities missed, moments that never materialised and presence that was never quite tangible enough - slip away like that.

there's not alot to do here in the desert, but i've tried to be as productive as possible, learning new things from people i'd never have crossed paths with if it wasn't for this overseas posting. i'm nearly through the entire series of West Wing - picked up new words, ideas and lessons - who'd have thought you could take home this much from a tv series?

i didn't really go out as much as i thought i would. didn't manage to get that unique taste of local life here. so i don't think i've experienced anything more than the average expat, disappointing.

in any case, i'm set to spend another two months here. will try to squeeze in more travelling and perhaps play host to visitors (if things work out).

touch down thursday, back to work friday and off on a much needed break from saturday till monday - woohoo! then after that i anticipate a swamp of work and wedding co-planning. don't know when i'll have the capacity to update again and post some of the photos i took last weekend by the beach. just for fun (and self indulgence) i'll put up the most poseur looking one i have first.

it was windy!
