Bush blow (up)

If this is Sunday, it must be time to go back to Belgium

After having spent the last two days in London with Jasmine and her friends, trying to do and see all London has to offer in a day, we return home exhausted.
But, you shall ask me, what did we do to be so exhausted?
- Tate Modern
- London Bridge
- St Paul's
- discovering Starbucks
- sitting by the Thames, watching the London Eye
- Natural History Museum
- Science Museum
- Victoria and Albert Hall with an Islamic art expo
- Eating at Thai buffet, all you can eat (now THAT is exhausting)
- Musical: "the producers"

and of course, we also had to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders that entire time.... ;-)

Verdere plannen

Mijn werkzoeken met International Service heeft jammer genoeg (nog) geen vruchten afgeworpen, noch in Brazilie (plaats al ingenomen), noch in Palestina (voorkennis noodzakelijk) waardat ik anders jasmine zou hebben vervoegd in Rammallah. Tja, si bon dye vle komsa...

Dus ik kom terug naar Belgie, met ons llief jasmineke in hetzelfde vliegtuig, aan in Zaventem zondag 10 sept.

En we zullen wel zien wat we daarna uitspoken. Weekje in Belgie, Volens werkje afmaken, CV's opsturen enzo... Dan, normaal gezien heb ik mijn Portugese lessen geboekt van de maandag 18de sept tot de 29ste sept. in Lisbonne met misschien een bijkomende week qls het ons echt goed bevalt en d'er nog geld overschiet. The future is bright,the future is obscure.

Oxford: pretty faces and less pretty

Even in Oxford, they have the belgian chocolate... And (d)effects are instantly noticeable.

I think because it is such a city of academics, artists felt inspired...
And so did we....














But the greatest time I had was punting. No, not some obscure, dirty deed, but an enjoyable way of river traveling... Although we did needed to get the hang of it first.

Pas mal, surtout le premier des petits films....

Future news:Brazil is out,let's try Palestine

International Service has selected Jasminefor the post in Ramallah,and while she is doing the course, she checked to see whether the post for Brasil is still available. Unfortunately it isn't anymore, so fate has decided for me, and I won't have to make the difficult choice between Palestine and Brasil anymore, both having (loads of) advantages. Now I'm applying for the job of legal researcher and advocacy campaigner at Al Haq in Ramallah, which has a very impressive but also very similar profile as the one of GARR in Haiti, I feel:

Keep you posted!

Dear London

After having spend three days in Dublin, now in England during ten days.
Started in London with Dannie - So nice to see her again. I am spending the weekend with her and family. Sunday is going to be Spanish festival in Regent street, so we'll have another retrouvailes in our old surroundings, like when we lived in Granada:

Then, for five days to Oxford, meeting Lionel and Ingrid who seem to have made an entire program for, including Risk and Almodover latest film.

On the 11th, hopefully the interview with International Service in York, to apply for the job either in Brazil or in Palestine (for which Jasmine has been selected, by the way)...

More to follow!
