Break on through to the other side

I remember talking with a few people after my traineeship in Egypt about how when people move abroad they often find one person to latch themselves onto at first. It might be only for the first week or so. Or maybe longer. But someone somehow helps make you feel comfortable in your new home, who you can go to with questions and helps you get acquainted. Your own personal little oracle.

I definitely had mine in Egypt. And in Dubai.

My ‘Dubai oracle’ left last night. It’s a very strange thing. Even though the times we saw each other were few and far between lately, he was such a help those first few months that it will be really strange to be in Dubai without him.

But here’s to your new adventures, Peep.

Until next time.
