The Stranger is back...

It has been a long time....a long time indeed. I'm very sorry for my lack of contact over the past month and a half but life has probably been the most hectic it has been in a long time. It's not really a good enough excuse to disappear off the planet and the more I try to focus on all the little things that are not stressful, then hopefully the more I will learn to look at the bigger picture of the world. In this post I'd like to give you a wee summary of how things are living in egypt at the moment, a bit about work and of course a little about life outside work!

I'll start with today...Had a lovely relaxing weekend at the Cataract Hotel which is really close to the Giza pyramids. I got a little pink today even though I stayed in the shade the whole time!! The sun was so intense today, and even hotter yesterday. I went there with a few friends from work and it was the first time i felt I could completely chill out because all reports were done and my class had finally done their assessments! We went to a lovely restaurant last night that overlooked the pyramids. Absolutely amazing. It just so happened that there was a sound and light show on and we could hear it all very clearly. It was beautiful!

It's been such a busy month and so much has happened. Work has been quite stressful, mainly due to the fact that there is alot of pressure for assessments and high grades to be achieved. On top of that, the kids seem to be restless alot more, making teaching them alot more hard work. They are ready for a holiday and so am I!

Also, I've kinda been working my ass off with this dance crew. We had a show last Friday for a Redbull break dance event which went very well! It was scary though because we performed on a circular stage for the first time which meant that I couldn't see anyone even in my peripheral vision so if I messed up I would have no idea! Just had to be confident and go for it! We all made a few mistakes but nothing to serious that other people in the crowd would notice. The crowd actually loved us which made it way more fun to dance!

Hopefully I will have the video of it shortly.

Anyway I shall depart so that I can come back tomorrow and update you with another little happening in my life. I hope that all of you reading this are well and I can't wait to see you! Hehe!

Peace.
