Chill your beans: January 2008
http://chillyourbeans.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 02, 2008. Coming out of the airport, I see a scene which I can’t remember seeing anywhere else. There is a large crowd of people excitedly waiting to greet their family and friends who have just flown in, and several of them are carrying colour colourful bouquets of flowers. It looks wonderful. I never made it to Syria, but I hope I will do that as well. Posted by Resto at 12:17 AM. View my complete profile. Fernando Lopez, artist in Nicaragua (in Spanish). Living in the real world.

Chill your beans: December 2006

Friday, December 22, 2006. Interesting Blogs from Iraq and Cuba. It’s been a quite a while since I updated my blog. In fact, I haven't even accessed it for the last month. I haven’t been particularly busy, I just kind of forgot that I had a blog. Anyways, I've been looking at other people's blogs around the world and I found two good ones I want to mention. The first is a blog from a guy in Iraq. Warning. Warning. Warning. He who has warned is henceforth excused. He who has warned is henceforth excused.

Chill your beans: August 2009

Wednesday, August 19, 2009. When I was at university in. A few years ago, a friend of mine told me about Hyde Park Speakers Corner. He said it was a place where every Sunday, you’ll find people giving talks and speeches about various subjects. I never found the time to check it out while living in. But I was there last week on holiday and decided to see what it was about. Who else would spend a day of their weekend steeped up on a small ladder trying to get complete strangers to listen to them? Some peop...

Chill your beans: November 2006

Thursday, November 02, 2006. Capital cities, Mystery Creatures. And they'll look at me like, wow, you know the capital? Or maybe they'll just answer yes or no in an indifferent way. Anyway, Ouagadogou is the first capital I've memorised. I'll try to memorise two capitals everyday from now on. The other one I learned today is Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi, where Madonna adoped a child from. Posted by Resto at 2:54 AM. View my complete profile.

Chill your beans: October 2006

Tuesday, October 24, 2006. Living in the real world. Dubai is so fake, Dubai is not the real world and Dubai is like Disneyland! These are some of the comments I've heard people say about Dubai over the years. I have to admit I have never asked them what they mean when they say the "real world" but I think that they are referring to the US and Europe, a world where people pay taxes, commute to work using public transport and have a democracy. Posted by Resto at 12:48 PM. Thursday, October 12, 2006. Its a...

Chill your beans: August 2007

Monday, August 27, 2007. A few days before travelling, I find out that Portugal has taken over the 6 month rotating EU presidency and they have said that they will support Turkey’s membership to join the EU. I mention this to my Portuguese friend in Dubai, and he seemed disinterested, telling me not to think too much of it, I wouldn’t expect too much from the Portuguese, they don’t get things done. Unfortunately, I left my ankles a bit too long in the water, and that night I got a fever. Also reflects th...
