E7teramet!

- Finally, my blog is up and running. My very first blog! Sorry to all uf you back home that all this time most probably have been dying to know how I`m doing, and what`s really going on down here. My only excuse is that the days have been long, and the nights soo, so short.. Now, however, no more waiting. So, where to begin? There is so many impressions! Lebanon is without doubt a fantastic country, and so far I haven`t felt bored for a second. On the contrary, I wish the day had a few more hours. (This is appearently not something that only occurs in the motherland, believe it or not.) Meetings, language classes, introduction rounds, workshops, eating (!), sleeping, getting to know new colleagues and friends, aclimatising... all in all a lot of things to administrate. What I espescially notice is that down here I get tired so much faster than what I normally do back home. I somehow expected this to happen, but still it`s interesting to actually experience it on my own body and mind. Those of you who know me well know that my sence of directions is not one of my best developed qualities, and you can only imagine how much energy I`ve spent trying to figure out my new neighbourhood. Now I can proudly say that I`m able to find my way to the office, the language school, my favourite coffee place AND the organic food store, all on my own. (And as if this wasn`t enough, I even know the way to Jbeil and Tripoli!) E7teramet! ( For those of you who are not too educated in arabic, this means Respect!)
