Well, for better worse. I have returned to my Blog.
After a longer than expected "leave of absence" I have renewed the desire to put finger to keyboard.
So what happened you ask? (we, at least I hope you ask).
The truth be told the place got me to me. I lost interest in Saudi and all things Saudi.
This is NOT an easy place to live for a Westerner. There were simply too many times when I felt like I was living on another planet: covered faces; no cinema; crazy drivers; no wine; no "real" cafes as we Westerners know them; etc, etc. I felt lost and eventually overwhelmed.
My shrink tells me it is all too normal for a Westerner to feel this way. Not sure his comment made me feel better or worse...
The reality is that most places aren't great to be nowadays, what with job losses. the cost of living, etc.
But Saudi has a special way of getting inside you and seriously playing with your head. Anyway, that will be all for today. I promise to write each day. I might actually regain some sanity...mmmm
In the meantime I have been really into my [photography so if you are a sucker for punishment I invite you to visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/edwardmusiak/.
