BLOND AMONG ARABS: May 2008

http://wwwwiz.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Thoughts and fragments of my life in Dubai and Oslo. Refuserte kronikker og resultat av kronisk skrivekløe. Thursday, May 29, 2008. UNSPOILED BEAUTY – THE NEW LUXURY. I started thinking about what luxury really is when RTA (The Roads and Transport Authority) starting digging up the beautiful palm fringed avenue that passes through The Springs. Our quiet, comfortable villa compound. The area we live in houses around 18 000 people, a golf club, three town centers and three schools. Why do they build Dubail...

BLOND AMONG ARABS: HISTORIELØSE INNVANDRERUNGDOMMER

http://wwwwiz.blogspot.com/2010/10/historielse-innvandrerungdommer.html

Thoughts and fragments of my life in Dubai and Oslo. Refuserte kronikker og resultat av kronisk skrivekløe. Sunday, October 24, 2010. Jeg har bosatt meg i et muslimsk land i Midt Østen, underlagt en eneveldig sheik som følger sharialover. Jeg er en innvandrer fra det kristne nord, og møtes med en respekt og toleranse som viser at Dubai vil følge i New Yorks, Singapores og Hong Kongs fotspor. Men hva med Oslo og våre innvandrere? Og med hvilken intensjon? Hva Norge går glipp av. Han vet. Skal et sivil...

The Travelling Story: July 2008

http://mybuddhistnameismaya.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

It is our earth, not yours or mine or his. We are meant to live on it, helping each other, not destroying each other. J. Krishnamurti. Tuesday, July 22, 2008. I Love to Eat! On Friday morning, I received a phone call from Debs. She rings me from Singapore every now and then and I have to smile at the way she identifies herself in her youthful. Almost kitten-like voice …. 8216;It’s meeee. Our shared total disdain for. Shrimp paste), and my beloved. 8217;s cultivation of. Using canned corned beef - a pantr...

Jhaji - Aur Kya !! (Mr Jha , what else): Shantaram By Gregory David Roberts - Book Review (5/5)

http://jhaji.blogspot.com/2009/11/shantaram-by-gregory-david-roberts-book.html

Jhaji - Aur Kya! Mr Jha , what else). My thoughts on things which are happening around me. Sunday, November 29, 2009. Shantaram By Gregory David Roberts - Book Review (5/5). So I finished this a while back and waited for couple of weeks to settle my oozed-out wonder-stuck eyes, gives some rest to my often-excited lower left pump and sort of let-it-sink before I attempt to write a quick review. Often the initial excitement dies down to a more informed insight and time makes you better. Here's the wiki link.

Mind Soul and Heart: April 2009

http://belle-lettrist.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Mind Soul and Heart. Our body is nothing but a mere combination of the elements from this earth but what makes us human is our capability to connect our mind with our heart and sync them with our soul. Rather than alienating yourself from the world, here is an attempt to help pacify your antagonized mind. So keep writing whether its bilge or sagacious. Friday, April 10, 2009. When you are alone and there is no one by your side,. Close your eyes and think of me, I'll be there holding you in my arms. But w...

BLOND AMONG ARABS: TÅKEFYRSTER, FIKSJONER OG FAKTA

http://wwwwiz.blogspot.com/2010/10/takefyrster-fiksjoner-og-fakta.html

Thoughts and fragments of my life in Dubai and Oslo. Refuserte kronikker og resultat av kronisk skrivekløe. Sunday, October 24, 2010. TÅKEFYRSTER, FIKSJONER OG FAKTA. Märtha Louises Englebok har fått enorm plass til å fremme sitt budskap (hva nå det er), på bekostning av all annen informasjon som trykker på utenfor redaksjonenes møterom. Det er kanskje en uskyldig sak, men ikke hvis man ser det hele i en større sammenheng. Jeg var lenge stolt av å være norsk. Realityserien 'Med Blanke Ark' har vist nordm...

BLOND AMONG ARABS: AT THE HAIRDRESSER

http://wwwwiz.blogspot.com/2010/05/at-hairdresser.html

Thoughts and fragments of my life in Dubai and Oslo. Refuserte kronikker og resultat av kronisk skrivekløe. Saturday, May 15, 2010. Going to the hairdresser takes up all the day, at least if the day is divided by bringing and fetching kids to and from school. My hairdresser is situated at Al Wasl road, famous for its mansions and endless rows of beauty salons and cosmetic clinics, as the parallel. You can make a mini. Gosh it would be fun to know any of these people. They’re SO glamorous. Sound like an e...

BLOND AMONG ARABS: October 2009

http://wwwwiz.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Thoughts and fragments of my life in Dubai and Oslo. Refuserte kronikker og resultat av kronisk skrivekløe. Saturday, October 3, 2009. I'm back in Norway, still blond, but not among Arabs. That is, among the Arabs of The North, yes. The oil rich country of Norway, with it's Viking history of hardship in a cold and harsh climate, has a lot in common with the bedu culture of the desert. I'll continue writing in both English, and Norwegian, depending on my mood. Salaam, Love and Skål! The Tale Of Tellus.

BLOND AMONG ARABS: February 2009

http://wwwwiz.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Thoughts and fragments of my life in Dubai and Oslo. Refuserte kronikker og resultat av kronisk skrivekløe. Thursday, February 19, 2009. REASONS TO LOVE DUBAI. We turned heads after a few well-heeled women (women do that too! And Astri said she'll miss that in Norway if she ever returns home. . Me too, I said. So we found out what we'll miss most. Gorgeous looking Arabian and Lebanese men, who happen to also be gentlemen, always! Smell of shisha at night. Totally live in a superb variety of cultures.
