Memoirs and reflections of a world explorer, life coach and former serial degree collector. Tuesday, October 18, 2005. Tonight was a cold, rainy night, and yet there was a very long que of students winding through the city center. what was the occassion? I knew those jackets had to refer to something!

Memoirs and reflections of a world explorer, life coach and former serial degree collector. Friday, October 07, 2005. Hala wallah, cheers! For those of you who don't speak saudi english, my good friend and colleague at the business school, Yazid, coined my new favorite phrase. Hala wallah, cheers! The queen's english is a bit of a mystery to me. it feels odd to be in a place where people are speaking english, yet i don't understand it all. So to all i say:. Hala wallah, cheers! Scent of a muslim.

Memoirs and reflections of a world explorer, life coach and former serial degree collector. Sunday, November 27, 2005. And speaking of feet, i really need a new sock collection. it's official: i'm going back to tube socks. i know, this is a shocking announcement to many, and this may kill a lot of my street cred in the fashion world, but i've gotta do it. i can be fashionable when the sun comes back out. in march 2006! And with that, i am initiating a moratorium on fashion till further notice. Fashion is...

I must say, british tourism is. Give the cars a bridge and put a fence around the street so the ducks cannot cross. it is that hard? Love can move mountains, i can move rocks. Subscribe to: Po...

Memoirs and reflections of a world explorer, life coach and former serial degree collector. Monday, October 10, 2005. Ali shaikley's guide to classroom class:. 1 no real time comments- it's called a lecture because the professor is lecturing, not because we are all asking you to give your commentary on every two words the professor speaks. 2 this is not the british parliament! 5 don't try to kiss so much @$! 6 don't huff and puff and shift in your chair till the professor calls on you. raise your han...
