I’ve finally started to feel more at home here, everything is not so bloody strange anymore. Possibly the only thing that comes to mind is that the roads are fringed everywhere with high walls, and nobody knows what’s on the other side. In many places there is also a stencilled sentence on the wall in question: “Do not urine here.” I will post an Engrish picture of it one day.

But I promised to try and catch the big bird of prey on camera, and today I did:

The palm tree is obviously a big one, as the bird is about the size of a big cat.

I also managed to catch a frame of a local policeman on his on-duty bike:

Check out that funky paint job on the bike! And yes, they all ride similar ones. Too bad about the electric lines in the picture though.

I now have my working desk which is big enough to accommodate both the laptop and my sewing machine at the same time. It’s now only a matter of time that I have new clothes!
