Missing home

...and I mean Yemen!

Been out of the country for two weeks for work, and as nice as it's been, I'm ready to head back home. Spent week 1 in the office in the UK - my annual pilgrimage to HQ to touch base with people. I even volunteered for a 'Lunch & Learn' - did a 20-min presentation to all company and then we got sandwiches for lunch. My first presentation since university!

Week 2: in France while S is on a course. I'm working but in the afternoons, we walk around, eat out, go to the beach, etc. Nice being in the city again.

My husband says I'm a moaner. Maybe. But after working in the office and then in a hotel room with grey walls, I've realised I prefer to work at home. Initially enjoyed getting dressed for work and putting my face on and the 5-min commute meant I didn't have to wake up at some crazy hour.

But walking around in heels all day (mine aren't even that high) and having to work in polite company in an open-plan office...

One week was enough. :o)

I couldn't sit cross-legged/fart/burp at the desk like I do at home.
I don't have to wave at 6 people each time I go to the loo.
I don't have to make coffee/tea for 3 other people when I need one.
No polite chit-chat necessary at home - just get on with it.
No need to keep up appearances (I feel like Big Brother is watching)
Nobody listens to my phone conversations at home (at least I don't think so).
And in my office, it's 'tranquille' and my chair/desk/monitor etc are set up just right.

Going home soon, yay!

Taiz

Image
Just got back from the historical city of Taiz - only a 30-minute flight from Sana'a on the new domestic airline, Felix Airways. We flew out on Thursday morning and back on Saturday morning... so we had almost two full days over the weekend. To drive down, it takes around 4.5 hours - but due to company-imposed security restrictions, we're only allowed to fly there. The roads are good apparently, except for one dangerous stretch called the Sumarra Pass. Our driver made his way to Taiz by car the day before our flight, and met us at Taiz airport. In case of a breakdown, he was accompanied by a second car (ironically it was the 'security' car that ended up with a flat tyre). Taiz is beautiful. Our first reaction was that it's very green ("very" being relative to Sana'a, not Southeast Asia!) and very hot (again, compared to Sana'a). Used to the cool highlands, the two drivers spent three hours driving around, looking for a hotel with air-conditioned r...

Postcard From Yemen

Postcard From Yemen February 7, 2010 By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN Sana, Yemen Yemen’s former prime minister, Abdul Karim al-Iryani, got right to the point when I arrived at his Sana home for dinner: “So, Thomas, did it take Abdulmutallab to finally get you here?” Yes, it is true, I admitted, because that young Nigerian, trained in Yemen by Al Qaeda, tried to blow up a Northwest jetliner on Christmas Day, I decided I had to see Yemen firsthand. I further confessed to Iryani: “I was a bit worried coming here. I half expected to be met at the bottom of the stairs from my Qatar Airways flight by Osama bin Laden himself.” Fortunately, though, I found that Sana is not Kabul, and Yemen is not Afghanistan — not yet. The Walled Old City of Sana, a U.N. World Heritage site with its mud-brick buildings adorned with geometric shapes, was bustling with coffee shops at night and vendors by day. Walking through its streets with a Yemeni friend, we came upon four bearded, elderly Yemeni men — traditional dag...

How to pack for overseas assignments

Taking a break from the packing. Thought I'd share some tips on how to prepare and pack for moves to difficult countries, based on my personal experiences of going to Angola and Yemen. Since I don't have children, I couldn't give you good advice on kid-related issues. A few months before the move, try to find out from friends/employees in the destination country: What is and isn't available, and what they recommend bringing. If the plugs/voltages mean that you can't bring your electronics (different voltages) or if you need to buy plug adaptors (just different plugs). If the voltages are different from your base country, I wouldn't advise getting voltage adaptors because apparently these "die" after a period of use and you may still risk damaging your equipment. If there are daily/regular power cuts, in which case it is recommended that you get a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) for your computer equipment and high-end electronics (TV, stereo system, e...
