One would presume that, as Director of Finance, I would have signing authority over our bank accounts. This would be a fair and correct presumption but that authority is not automatic with the title of course. The paperwork to arrange this is not at all complex and, in fact, involves only a letter of request. While Laurel (the outgoing Director of Finance) was here we visited the bank with just such a letter signed by herself and Sheila (the Dean and CEO of ...

... manner. I am Mr. Mark, my driver is Mr. Abdullah, etc. I haven't learned why this is. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that first names are quite often easier to pronounce than last and, with people from all over the world here, it's a way to add some formality with less of a chance for a faux pas. Pure speculation on my part.

My colleagues had suggested I would feel like a heel jumping the queue of ...

... bywith the man in the white robes, the woman face covered with just eye slits, and three daughters under the age of 7 all dressed cutely in the same flower print sleeveless dresses. When and how will it be determined that the girls move from the practicality (since its 105 degrees out) and "immodesty" of sleeveless floral prints to the modesty of black robes, and will their faces be shown, and will their robes be plain or pretty. And will their ...

... etc. The flight routing was interesting: southeast out of Istanbul towards the Syrian coast, then over Syria eastern Jordan and Saudi Arabia. We skirted around Iraq the entire time. At one point you could see the desert highway in Jordan which leads to Baghdad and you could see the border crossing in the distance where the road widens for the checkpoints on both sides. We landed in Dubai after dark ...

I am counting my days now, this is almost the end of my stay in Doha Qatar... Where is the next destination? I still don't know, at this time last month, I was working my way through to go to Abu Dhabi to start my new life there... I still don't know where did it go wrong... suddenly I might heading to Mannama City, Bahrain....

... of the darkness to try to relieve me of my valuables. After a cold shower (which wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be), I did a bit of reading about Zanzibar to further prepare for my time here, and finished the evening by cracking out my expandable keyboard for the first time ever on a trip. It took me a good fifteen minutes to get it working (there are lots of stupid little steps necessary to get it fired up), but then after that it was smooth sailing; a real pleasure to use.

Finally my bag arrived. In the morning of October 02, 2007, I received the desired call from the airport that the bag is now at Doha and ready for collection. I returned from the airport at 4:00 AM with the bag. Our sponsors has arranged a short city trip on October 02. We had our Brown Marcedes 350 Ready at the hotel gate by 10:00 AM. Our Philipinno Chaufer told us that thr trip will take about 2 hours. We started from the ...

I left the office in a hurry to catch a morning flight to Washington, and then a 14 hour journey before arriving at International Airport Dulles (IAD). After a one and a half hour delay in Qatar and 14 hours flying across the Mediterranean, European Continent and the Atlantic Ocean we finally arrived in the US. Before entering, we need to go through customs, and the system takes a very long time to get through, as they check for everything.... I have ...

... this environment I found to be completely hostile to my cold northern body. The people here are brisk and businesslike but endearing in the way they double shake hands with you, the manner they smile with mouth and eyes together (a sign they mean that smile) and how we all come together in the shared experience of our delayed flight to exchange stories, lives, backgrounds and laughter. One Israeli man told me it was typical of my country people to bring people together like that, I ...
