Hep B number 2
This is a top pick! Second Hep B jab only one more to go. At this stage I am wondering whether to take the Rabies jab, it's quite expensive at £95 and only gives you an addition 24hours protection to get to a hospital. I might be worth it though if I end up handling ...

Hep B
This is a top pick! Today I received my first Hep B jab. I actually forgot to bring any cash so I have to jump in my car and leg it off back to Surbiton high street to a cash point. £55 pounds later I was sorted with my first jab of ...
First visit to the doctors

primeira semana
Acabo de completar uma semana por aqui. Como qualquer primeira semana, essa foi "tumultuada". Cheia de mudancas, sai daqui vai pra ali, volta, faz isso e depois aquilo. Mas nada muito grave. Um pouco mais de organizacao teria ajudado (digo, nao de minha ...
no meio tempo
E o que aconteceu nesse periodo entre voltar da Africa e sair para India? Hoje me deu vontade de repassar alguns desses eventos... Ao voltar da Africa eu estava mais ou menos decidido a continuar na area [de atuacao], como ja mencionei. Mas como eu iria ...

16 August - Oops
"I'd heard you have to apply for Russians visas in your country of origin." Tim's words dropped like a lead balloon from a great height. He should know about these things, he'd just got returned from a ride to Mongolia and back. It's not as though my ...
Yay, A Good Result For Once
So I am sitting here with my passport in my hands looking at my new and shiny NEW ZEALAND WORK VISA! It arrived just a few minutes ago and I can honestly tell you that I am ecstatic. All that worry was over nothing and I am pretty sure I gave myself an ...

musica e religiao
Em marco do ano passado eu estava viajando em marrocos com Henrique e uma das coisas mais estranhas para mim foi uma musica. Talvez seja melhor dizer um estilo de musica. Estavamos em um onibus que ia cruzar o Atlas (as montanhas, nao aquele livro de ...

Phew, And Breathe...
I got home from work yesterday to the resounding good news that the loan money had been cleared and was in my account. I saw it and I actually breathed out so deeply that I thought I might pass out! A whole weight lifted off my shoulders and I could ...
