Guinea - View from my balcony (Novotel)Hello, been a long time, probably six month I have not wrote on here, but time happens where it just doesn't feel like to, or just that life is busy enough, to offer enough time and energy to write. Or maybe Im just lazy :)
UN is finished, it wasn't a nice ending, but as you could expect coming from an environment like the UN, there is nothing surprising. As usual, at the end of last year, we had this get together american style staff assembly somewhere in the desert (UAE), where we are meant express our selves and point out lessons learned etc... Well, that last one, I probably was tired enough of being unfairly "Fucked" (excuse the expression), and decided to say what I believed correct to say. Obvisouly, that isnt the policy which pleases the high level fat bastards that feel their pockets with your sweat, and lifes.... At least, I really loved that work, and really enjoyed acquiring such an experience of people and mostly africans. Nothing can replace this experience in the deep parts of certain country where I would have otherwise not been able to go. Just because of this, I wont spend more time on puking about the UN controversies and unfairness, through there would be probably a large book to write about..... I let you make your own validation of what the UN stands for, or for who they fight for!
After three month of searching, without much replies from the hundreds of targeted job adverts, I eventually got lucky, and was taken onboard what I would say bought back a large smile on my face. I have embarked in one of the biggest projects in the world, and one of the most enjoyable life there can be for who enjoyed the rough life of africa. Guinea is the new location where I should be living for the next three or four years (if all goes well, and I manage the work). Life at the moment isn't too easy, nothing is settled, I live in the hotel for the last three months, I am becoming fat as I eat at the restaurant every days... something I have not been used to in the past, and Im still smoking and drinking more than I would like to. However, this is only the usual adaptation period, where you are struggling in finding your cruising speed. I know that in sometime again, I will be having a saine and healthy life. Its a matter of getting there, and thats happening now... hahahah. Meanwhile, Guinea is an extremely poor country, with a lots of potential! There is everything to be done in this country, and so little that can be yet invested in as the political situation is so unstable. People are suffering a lot, and if a bag of rise costs a monthly salary to an average citizen, it does not remove them there smiles and constant inexplicable kindness. Damn, got to go, will be back later :) sorry!!!
