business opportunity

Have you ever wanted to open a business in Egypt?
The desire was there, but the idea was missing??
Well, here is a great suggestion... go into a door-handle business...

I assure you that every company and every household has at least one broken handle...
You can get a backpack full of different handles and then go door to door offering handles...
if you come up with reasonable price, you are soon to be millionaire... :o)...

yep, a looong day.

Buuuuu

"You will become a small elephant in two weeks."

"You will scare everyone when you will come to work in the morning."

I pause as I stuff myself with cakes (yep, two cakes - chocolate and fruit cake); it is a farewell cake to one of my co-workers who is returning to France. I look at Omer and ask... "are you talking to me?"

"No", is the answer, "I talk to my computer screen."

"Why cant you talk to your computer screen in Arabic???"

After 11 days working straight, he died...

In UK, where capitalism is more "developed" than in other countries of Europe, there is a working accident of young employee every 40min due to the heavy workload they are forced into by their managers. Children, students, young graduates die mostly in summer.

The death rate of young employees in UK has raised by 20% within the last 5 years and about 4500 of young workers get seriously injured at work yearly. Each month at least 1 person under 25 years dies at his work place and thousands of others get injured in such way that they have to take at least 3 or more days off work (in 2005 the number reached 15 000 people).

In 2002, Mark Fiebig died during a car accident after he spent at work more than 20 hours that day. When he died, he worked for 11 days straight with no day off. The company where he worked forced him to work for 17 or more hours a day, having only some 3-4 hours for sleep.

The report says that within the last 11 years 46 employees younger than 18yo died while working at a farm. Out of which 10 were between 16-17yo.

Killing Lake Nyos

Lake Nyos is located in western Cameroon, adjacent to Nigeria, in the elbow region of west Africa. It lies within the Oku Volcanic Field, at the northern boundary of the Cameroon Volcanic Line, a zone of crustal weakness and volcanism that extends to the southwest through the Mt. Cameroon stratovolcano. The Oku Volcanic Field contains numerous basaltic scoria cones and maars. Lake Nyos itself occupies a maar crater which formed from a hydrovolcanic eruption 400 years ago. There are about thirty similar lakes in the region.

At 9:30 p.m. on August 12, 1986, a cloudy mixture of carbon dioxide (CO2) and water droplets rose violently from Lake Nyos, Cameroon. As the lethal mist swept down adjacent valleys, it killed over 1700 people, thousands of cattle, and many more birds and animals. Local villagers attributed the catastrophe to the wrath of a spirit woman of local folklore who inhabits the lakes and rivers. Scientists, on the other hand, were initially puzzled by the root cause, and by the abrupt onset, of this mysterious and tragic event. More

Abu Simbel and Philae temple

Asuan

Asuan - the second day

Few hours of sleep passed and at 3am we had a wake up call. The trip was to start very early. We come down, get our breakfast box (wow :o), and three of us get to this one minibus. We get few more people along the way and I am happy there will be not many tourists at our today’s destination, which is Abu Simbel.

Yep, I admit it was a silly thought. Within 20 min we stop on a road and there are already several big buses and we are standing there and waiting for more to come. The point is simple, we will have a guarding convoy with us and thus all the buses will come to Abu Simbel at once. Thank god, this was off season. Thus we ended up only with some 20big buses and 20 minibuses. (We were told that in high season there are approx. 60 buses and during one specific day, when the sun hits the face of the Ramses statue inside of the temple, the 22nd (resp. 21) October there were 1,5mil people last year!).

We arrived past 7 at Abu Simbel, the place itself was magnificent from the very beginning. It was sunrise, there was the huge Nile with rocky banks and as if little fjords… hmm… and there were actually also several huge tourist boats with some more hundreds of tourists on it! (Fortunately they actually left the very time to go back to Aswan).

So we took the walk to Abu Simbel temples. There were two temples awaiting us. One built for Ramssese II. himself, the other one, smaller one, for his beautiful and beloved wife Nefertari, both dating to the 13th century BC. The temples should have commemorated the victory in the battle of Kadesh, and also were to impress and show the power of Ramssese to the neighbouring Nubians.

In 1964, the temples were moved from its original position to some 290km south of Aswan, as Aswan High Dam was to be build in that area, which meant the complex of the two temples would be flooded by the emerging artificial reservoir Lake Nasser.

The inside carving of the smaller temple could be view here.

A little after 9 we left Abu Simbel and drove some 3 hours back to Aswan. Our first stop was the Aswan High Dam. It is 111m high and nearly 4km long. Well, hmm… dam :o). The trip continued to Philae temple. We paid entrance, got on a boat and were brought to the island where the Philae temple is situated. In 1977, the temple has been moved from its original position on Philae Island to nearby Island of Agilika due to the Aswan High Dam which raised the waters of the Nile.

The temple was built during the 3rd century BC and was dedicated to the goddess Isis. The Vestibule of Nectanebos I served as the entrance to the Island of Philae. The original stairways leading to the vestibule were unfortunately washed away by the Nile and out of its original 14 columns only 6 remained till now. The complex further consists of the Temple of Emperor Hadrian, Temple of Hathor, Trajan’s Kiosk and other. Pilgrims from all over Mediterranean would come to Philae Island to worship the goddess of Isis.

Most of the sights built on the island date to the 26th Dynasty or the Roman Period, although they are predominantly of Roman style. The construction on the island took over 800 years. The temples were closed by Justinian in the year 550 AD after some 4000 years of worshipping of the pagan gods.

The island was incredibly colourful with all the flowers and the trees and was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. It was also one before the last stop. We ended up going to see one incomplete obelisk in Aswan. But I was not allowed to get in with my “fake” student ID. Well, your loss :P.

We arrived back to our hotel after 3pm. Later we stopped to get some food on our way back to the railway station and were on the train back to Cairo at 6pm.

Asuan - the first day

We left for Asuan on Thursday night. My bus from work was late that day by 45min, I did not pack for the trip the previous day and so coming home I had 40min to get ready. I am a slow packer, although I pack 3 t-shirts and couple of underwear. So in a way we were running late... BUT (hihi)… I discovered that there is one metro station actually 3min from our place and so we don’t have to walk 15min to Dokki station, as we always did before. Thus we were 15min “early” for the train :o).

The best part came right after, it was 8pm in the night, I did not have proper sleep the past several days (6.30am each morning is early!) and there was the sleeping train waiting for us…!!! And yes, it is the best travel on the train that i have ever had! We left on time, after 8pm and made it to Asuan the next morning past 9pm. Loooong sleep, good sleep.

By the train station we were caught by one young Nubian guy, offering us a ride in felluca (a boat), and at the end we ended up going to our hotel by boat instead of walking. Though since there was no wind, it took us over an hour to get to our hotel instead of 10 min walk. But nonetheless, the boat trip passed extremely fast and we got to enjoy the sight and slight movement of the nile river with lots of felluca passing by and big tourist boats parked (?) everywhere by the banks in double or triple rows.

After settling down at the hotel, our first trip lead to the market street of Asuan. This place is famous especially for its heaps of little shops with spices of all colours, teas and of course the usual clothes, scarfs and little statues and other silly things. I am ashamed to say that 500m of the street we have passed in over 1 hour! Surprisingly we actually shopped a lot, which is not only for me, quite unusual. :o)

Past three we met our felluca boy. He was to bring us to the numerous islands and sights that were on the Nile or on the other bank of it. Altogether we spent some 5 hours on his boat, due to no wind. Few times he and his friends had to paddle to get us somewhere. And still I was not bored, I sank my feet in the water to cool down a bit and enjoyed the light breeze, and calmness of the place.

First stop was at the Kitchner island. The UK honorary consul has established a botanical garden on this little island. I really liked that place, very nice and silent, with lots of flowers and tall palm trees. Another place to simply sit and do nothing.

Our second stop, after cruising zig zag over the nile was the right bank of the river. There is the Simeon monastery, or rather say the ruins of it, to be found. We walked for some 15min to reach the ruins, we walked around and ... well, we saw the ruins :o))... The other sight, the Mausoleum of Aga Khan was closed down recently, so except the desert, the camels and the green islands, there was nothing else to be seen.

Back on board, we headed for the Elefantine island. That is the biggest island in Asuan, has some big ruins of a temple and at the other edge there is the Nubian village. There are over 5000 people living in the village. The main activities of the Nubian people are running fellucas, farming, tourism, they actually "charge" tourists for entering and being shown around the Nubian village.

The village itself is very colourful. We saw mothers hanging out with their children, their hands busy with making plaits to the little girls, little children playing in a mud, some asking for bakshish and youth lazying around in the heat of the day. (Dody quote) We were offered to visit the Nubian house, I was offered to get my hands coloured with Hena, but we were in rush, so we skipped all this and just wandered around. The village is a cocktail of the beauties and uglies, where the colourful walls and finely painted windows danced together with the dirty abandoned mud walls. You will see turquoise, yellows, bright green, daring red lighting up the drab background of egyptian dust (Dody quote).

The visit has not lasted more than 20min, but we have still managed to miss the sunset on the Nile river...

As the boat drew back to the bank, we have passed the tombs on the west bank of the river. It was too hot and not much left to visit those.

During the night, we were sent to one local egyptian restaurant. It was supposed to be close by but we still managed to miss it and ended up at the pizza place by the railway station... hmm... great choice :o)).

Picture of the Day

Random image - neglected gnome

Frida continuation...

some more responses:

I have being following this thread for some days now and I thinks is hi-time you guys should accept the truth.And the truth is this :1.There was a trainee from Kenya who came for a Project through the platform of AIESEC at Eygpt.2.Her experience during her stay at Egypt was not what she really expected so she left unhappily, bearing a serious and personal grugde against Egypt.Well, whatever , everyone has aired his/her opinion on this issue. If she was right or not depends on her personal judgement.On the other hand, her negative personal jugdement might to the next neighbour mean something else, something positive. vice versa.Please lets say something productive for the benefit of everyone in this community.Pleaes, let there be a new thread of discussionThanks.

I have a really stupid question: Why are people not able to handle negative feedback? I think freda is making merely very reasonable factual observations (i on my part would have lashed out much more). I understand that people want to live in their happy little bubble of fun and that hearing negative things is not ideal but it does not give you cancer or make you infertile.
Especially we as AIESECers claim to be open but being open does not only mean being open for the positive things but also open to accept negative things about ones own country. and of course generalisations are not quite true (personally I think pareta 80-20 works well) but even so, if this is the impression she got is the appropriate respons not "how can me minimise this problem for the next trainee"? is arguing that she shouldn't be so negative not inappropriate?
i mean i do appreciate looking at women and all that but the way the get oggled here is partially really very inappropriate. any i have made very many negative experiences in only three weeks. some of theme were due to a greedy nature of the people in question, other where even when they were trying to help but had no clue what i wanted (e.g. send me to a random museum although i ask for the catacombs cause that is where all the other tourists go).
it is not so much that people try to overcharge you at khan al khalili, that is just business, not more. it is how they treat you at other locations and maliciously abuse that you have an inherent trust in people.
that does of course not mean that i don't really enjoy my time in egypt and that i had very man positive experiences.
i guess what i want to say is: is it really appropriate, esp for us supposingly open AIESECers, to get defensive when someone critisised our country and culture? even if a generalisation is in your opinion not appropriate think about why someone would generalise: would they do it cause they only experienced it a small number of times or because it happened over and over again. it might not be something you might have ever noticed but that is what AIESEC is all about: learning to see things through the eyes of other people. They will have other experiences and insights in your country that you will get. so if you don't like what you hear don't deny it, don't dwell on irrelevancies (i.e. it doesn't matter whether it is a problem with all people or merely with 50%, it is just as much of a problem) and put you head into the sand (as has been mentioned by someone before me) but have a think about it and try to fix it.
just my two pence on the matter

I wonder if Frida was the only one who had written some evaluation of her traineeship in Egypt? ;o)

Pluto

Astrologists from all over the world have gathered in Prague with one aim, to accurately define the word "planet". The reason is that the scientific world has still not decided if Pluto, an "object" that had been discovered in 1930, is a planet or not. The conference should bring an end to these discussions. I like Pluto...

dream come true

Dutch architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars created a floating bed that would allow you to sleep in a bed that is floating in mid air. Estimated to make you poorer by US$1,533,419... more

...magnetic field under the bed though could cause a problem to people wearing piercing :o)).

hmm :o)

My co-worker took a part on a Time management training last week run by our company. The training took two days - tuesday and wednesday. On Thursday my collegue was 36min late for our company bus... That is what I call putting training into an action ... :o)))

Another bad trainee?

A word from Frida, the Kenyan girl

It is only normal for a being to be patriotic to his country and hear positive things about it. I am a kenyan girl who came to Egypt with a lot of enthusiasm which i got my fair share.

AIESEC AAST Cairo; here goes my experience. It's probably what you want to hear or may be not.

Egypt is a lovely place; the north coast and the beaches are amazing. The pyramids are awesome, lovely jewerly, a little bit too flashy clothes, comfortable cafes and i still insist that the smell of shisha has more pleasure than smoking it. Islamic City....very interesting . I believe i did not visit all the tourist places because they are many and too little time.

I wonder what Egypt would be without all the amazing places and the Nile which also passes through a number of countries and starts at kenya :P

Egyptians, i feel , do not appreciate foreigners as thay ought to.

The taxi guys the people around the pyramids will do anyhing and come up with all sorts to get a little bit more out of you. The same goes for khan el khalili.

There is a lot of cultural differences between Egypt and where i came from especially in terms of people's attitude. I find it very uncomfortable that people (except guys) cut-call and stare a little bit too much; doesn't matter the age, young or old. Didin't their mums ever tell them it is rude and idiotic to stare? No it is not uncomfortable; it is annoying.

People here do not say YES or NO they always beat about the bush way too much.They are saving you the embarrasment.

I have not written everything. If i wrote everything you would probably not like it. Guess this would do. The rest i will share it with the rest of the world.

Frida.

Responses:

I can understand your frustration fully and I can understand why you want to express it out loud, but I just want to clarify one thing; one of the fatal mistakes that human beings fall in is generalizing which is the mistake we are falling in now. If you have faced some problems while being in Egypt from different people then this doesn?t mean that all Egyptians are what you think... I will just ask you to remember every good person you met and dealt with during your stay in Egypt. Count them and count the bad people who gave you hard time. Think how many people gave you generous hospitality, think how many showed total respect. And trust me its not the nice places in Egypt is what makes it beautiful, the people who lives in it because without these people these nice places will not be as beautiful as it seems. Just question and think how many good people you met here and you will find all the answers...

frida i read what wrote and i totaly agree but this actions u r talking about it's not done only with forigeners but its with people from inside the country as well i mean the minuit u take a cab in alex,cairo or anywhere and the driver sense that u r not from the city he trys to suck u dry, and this is a fact and we shouldnt be annoyed cz u r telling it ....as for fawzy what u r saying sounds so poetic however the number of people u r talking about (( the decent people )) r lesser than the number of those who try to use others and even if the number of the decent people is larger yet they did nothing to stop those who take advantge of others they r as bad as them , so she didnt make the mistake of GENRALIZING cz thats truely what happens and it became a culture here in egypt,and if we keep on trying to hide from this fact then it will keep on getting bigger and bigger even biger than it already is....
so instead of trying to prove that everything is fine and that only a few people who does that we should start digging (( and i mean it with every meaning this word could hold )) to find the roots of why we became a society who trys to take advantge (( in a bad way )) of forigenrs.... thank you

i'm not against or for anything here, just wanted to clarify that, anything different faces some problems (idea, person ANYthing) it is a problem, and we all face it , but it's everywhere not in Egypt only, and this is a part of living diversity, learning about other?s traditions, respecting and enjoying it. we have to overcome things, think positively and have the nice memories in mind. as i'm sure if i went to Kenya one day or anywhere.. i'll face the same problems, and it won't prevent me from being there more than once and loving the ppl. And would happily here the rest of ur comments, because I think there might be some misunderstandings.. and I really hope u did enjoy at least some of ur time here and think about coming again.. inshAlla..:)

In my opinion, what really is the reason of that problem is that Frida as an SN didin get any kinda of preparation before she leaves Kenya. I mean that the 1st thing ppl say to their SNs is how to deal with culture shocks and how to respect the cultural differences. I think we as AIESEC Egypt cannot blame ourselves cause of an SN who does not want even to listen to others opinion. Frida told me about a rule in our country Egypt that discriminates between black and white people, and what's amazing is that she heard abt that rule from a trainee who told her that egyptians discriminate between black and white ppl and that we treat black ppl as if they are shiiit.....specially black girls are always known as prostitutes when they walk in the streets. All these was said to frida by a trainee and a white trainee and cause of that she got that idea abt Egypt and before she left she decided to tell everyone do not come to Egypt.With all my respect to Frida and to the LC who gave her the preparation....." You guys should know more abt AIESEC". And as Fawzy said Egypt is not just beautiful because of its amazing places but cause of its amazing people.
How do you prepare a person for being annoyed every minute of her walking on the street? maybe you should actually admit to yourselves that what is happening here in Egypt to girls is beyond the regular stuff and YOU, yourself, could be the one who can prepare us girls for getting such shit on the streets - I doubt any other AIESEC country actually knows this, so it is hard to get us prepared in this matter.
Frida is not the only one who complains, ask ANY girl here and she will tell you the same stuff. I get it too and I hate it and no matter how hard i try not to notice it, I just cant. PLUS, if I try not to notice, the only thing I see from Cairo is the dirty streets as I stare on the ground and try to shut my ears from listening... And so far, unfortunately this annoyance is the strongest impression that I am getting from Egypt... and yes, please, call me unprepared SN if you want.

-------------------
Guys, if you get harassed every day, you would also talk differently... and no, you cant say "I understand" - you cant! I think all the girls try to see it positively, no one wants to come to different country and return with bad experience...

work

well, first part of the work is accomplished... i was working on some banner while learning photoshop... i made three suggestions out of which one got selected... i liked the other two better... but :o)... not my webpages :o))

born to be silly

lunch

Martina, would you like to order something for lunch from Bon Apetit?
Yep, I will have the Fajita sandwich. Will Omar order too?
I will find out.

***

Omar would like to order from Hardees.
Oh, but he should be a gentleman and order from Bon Apetit, since both you and me would prefer that. :o)
I told him so, but he said he will persuade you easily to order from Hardees.
Oh, hmm, :o)) let me go talk to him.

***

Omar, Nesreen told me you would like Hardees. So, please, as you try to persuade me, look here at the menu and choose a Bon Apetit sandwich.

***

Nesreen, two Bon Apetit Fajita sandwiches for me and Omar. ;o)

the best ever...

My co-worker that I share the office with is the best ever... I get to be presented with a breakfast each day (he does not like to eat alone and he wont listen that I already had one breakfast and will stuff me with some more food... I accidentaly revealed that I love to eat - well, accidentaly revealing means that I pretty much eat and sleep during my working hours). He gets to order me food, drinks... shares anything he might bring with him to work... Well, it pretty much seems that he assigned himself a task to look after my well being. I get spoiled whereever I am and that is dangerous as I might get used to it...

the praying

In Azerbaijan, I have hardly ever heard the prayers to be announced or held. Here in Cairo, 5 times per day one can hear the prayers from the amplifiers. Also at work, or transportation, the radios are turned on to hear the prayers...

sleep

pavement as bed, sky as the covers...

... several times I had the chance to see kids and adults sleep outside on the streets... Cairo, at least the center (have not seen the outskirts), seems as very well developed (infrustracture, buildings etc.) and thus seeing people sleeping outside on the hard ground is sort of surprising and very sad, of course, especially if those on the hard ground are children...

transportation

Although you can see the latest models of any car, the best is to see donkey and horse carriages pass by as you walk the streets of Cairo (they always decorate the animals so neatly :o))... It is incredible how can all sorts of transport mingle together and cause no trouble on the street. Well, unless one has a problem with lots of traffic, lots of car exhausts blowing into your face, lots of noise from the horns, lots of waiting to pass the road... :o))

shop assistants

I find it amazing that any shop you enter has at least 4 shop assistants to help you. And the amount of them does not depend on the size of the shop, as they seem to be able to squeeze 4 shop assistans on 1 square meter and yet have a lot of customers there that are being taken care of at the same time. :o))

auch... :o)

competition?
"who can diss egypt more"
Apparently there's a competition between nevernever and etravels on nomadlife

you ask me why i hate trainees?
----------------------------------------------

Oh… have I missed something!? Has my company complained about the way I work? Am I too irresponsible and take too long to understand what my job description is? Do I come late to work and leave too early? Do I act arrogant towards my co-workers? Am I dependable and annoy aiesecers too much with my complains? Do I require too many services from aiesecers? Am I unable to shop for myself and need someone to walk me home in the evening? Do I complain about my accommodation? Do I gossip about aiesecers behind their backs? Do I have a communication problem? Am I too immature to be able to discuss with others their different opinions?

Well, if none of this is the problem then I see no reason, Luli, why should specifically you complain about me as a trainee… So far all the aiesecers that DID TAKE INTEREST in me have done a great job and I hope I did show enough appreciation for their work.

On the other hand if you have any problem with my opinions and perceptions of Egypt, then you are more than welcome to comment on my blog or even make time and meet me in a café and discuss whatever problem you have. Some of my opinions are negative but there are also a lot of things that I see in positive way… and to be honest, your approach as an old aiesecer and Egyptian does not exactly positively influence my opinion about Egypt, your hospitability and friendliness. It is thanks to people like May, Semi, Bahaa, Omar, Dody, the Silverkey employees and my co-workers at Kia who make me think about Egypt in a very good way and I am sad to say that those that seem to create the core of Egypt on nomadlife do not exactly fall into this category.

I am 26 years old, I have 6 years of aiesec experience and I at least pretend to be open-minded and friendly towards those that come to my country as I know that the way I behave will definitely leave an impact on how they will perceive the Czech Republic. And if I see that someone has a problem with my country or some of its aspects/traditions, I do not get blindly offended but I might as well try to explain these cultural differences and have the people understand better my culture and hopefully have them become to like it and have them want to come back again. ;o)

By the way, what are the indicators according to which you decide for the winner?! I can as well strive for the excellence in something :o).

mango

Today I ate mango for the first time... we sat with my co-worker and he introduced me to the right way of eating it... that was hilarious... i ended up with sticky face and hands from the mango juice... but fortunately my clothes were spared ... now i can pass the knowledge further or rather learn eating it properly :o)))

toafa

i started to yawn, I yawned a lot and i transfered each and every yawn on my co-worker... the result? He got me the nescafe... :o)))

czech out check stuff in egypt...

yep, yesterday in Maadi I realized that Czech brands or copies of Czech brands (imagine that!!)are to be seen in Egypt too...

Škoda - there are so many škoda cars on the streets here ... well, great cars what can i say (and no, I dont care that VW bought it, it is ours).

Bohemia crystal - Czech cut glass, to be found pretty much in any country... too good not to be exported... the golden czech hands...

Baťa - if you ever wondered where Bata got his brand name and logo then go and CZECH the Czech brand Baťa and you will know :o))...

I have not been in a bar yet (hmm... is Nomad a bar??) but as soon as I get there I will look for Czech beer, I bet it is present... who does not know Budweiser, right?! :o))

Guy with a taste

Yesterday, while walking home, I passed by this one young lad... he was wearing a football jersey with Czech emblem, Czech flag and the name Nedvěd on the back... good taste!! :o))

Manners...

Coming to Egypt and meeting with Egyptians and foreigners, I was left to believe there are no manners left in the society... I was sure Czechs lost pretty much all manners after the revolution in 1989 but coming to Egypt made me realize it is not so... The former Eastern block was brought up with manners and ok treatment of one another, we were taught basic rules and stuff... and that makes the living so much easier...

Demonstrace proti umístění americké raketové základny na území ČR proběhne v pondělí 21.8. 2006 od 18 hodin na Náměstí míru v Praze.

Talkin against the placement of the US rocket base on the territory of the Czech republic will be held on Monday, 21 August 2006, at 6pm at the Namesti miru square in Prague.

Why not to want to be born Polish...

One of the smaller Polish political parties that is part of the governing coalition, Ultracatholic League of Polish Families (LPR), wants to tighten up even more the already harsh abortion laws. It intends to forbid the abortion even in cases when the mother's health is in danger.

The idiocy of some never ceases to surprise me. I wonder how many women are members of that party. Brainwashed morons... Since when guys have the right to forbid abortion... they are the ones to get us into this trouble at the first place.... Forbidden abortion will only turn into higher and bigger risks for women that will have the abortion done secretaly... Grrrr, annoys me...

i wonder... if you remove the horn from cars... does it mean Egyptians will stop using the cars?

i liked the taxi driver today, so i decided to give him bit more money than i usually do ... the bad thing about the drive was that he dropped me at a wrong place... well, i still managed to make it to work... :o)

endless

http://2a.hasicido.cz/?dokument=fotogalerie_fotografie&groupid=233

the good thing is i brought my socks and warm fleece jacket to work today, so i wont freeze and hopefully my nose wont turn red as usual... the bad thing is the daily nescafe was only for visitors and i was refused to be given one today, instead i have boring tea without chocolate droplets on the foam of my lovely creamy nescafe... :o((
