So WordPress informed me of my achievement today. One full year of blogging or being on WordPress completed. Link to my first ever post: https://kamakawida.wordpress.com/2014/02/04/those-who-do-n/ I was aware that I was getting close but was not sure due to my laziness and bad memory. I’m happy to inform that the number of posts corresponds to … More One year of posting under the belt.
I do not mean to say that the people who are this wealthy make me sick (anyone of us could be in such positions). Rather its the notion of such prosperity being able to exist and sustain itself in a world that witnesses so much suffering due to the other side (majority) lacking it. How … More This level of opulence makes me feel just a bit sick.
This idea came a few weeks a go when I was reunited with some very dear friends. We hadn’t been that long a part (roughly 3 months) but it felt like ages. I think this is the one big problem with having friends who think the way you do. You miss a few weeks of … More Started an online forum.
I have now nearly been in Djibouti close to a week. So far it has been a great experience and I don’t see that changing. The first few days were confusing and a shock to the system. Not only because of the nearly 50 degrees centigrade change in temperature (Finland to Djibouti) but also because … More Alien but Familiar; Djibouti.
So as I mentioned in a previous post I recently attended my graduation ceremony. During the one week there I met a lot of my good friends who I studied with. They all live abroad in various countries so meeting them was amazing and probably wont happen on this large of a scale again where … More Uncertainty expected so just get on with it
Last week I had my official masters graduation ceremony. Traveled back to the UK for a week. It was a great trip not only because of the graduation but also because I had a chance to meet a lot of the good friends I had made during my studies. Some of them are like family … More Graduation
Yes I have been a bad blogger and I feel guilty about it. Sometimes circumstances dictate what you can or can’t do. Sometimes you have to prioritize other things even if it is not optimal. And sometimes you justgive yourself excuses to why you wont or cant do something. For me it has been a … More Got to catch up with posting.
So I have a lot to catch up on seeing that I haven’t had the time to post for a week or so. Its been hectic to say the least. Either way I now find myself in Djibouti. Why? Well this will be covered in another post, hopefully by today if I get the time. … More I was smart today… had to break into my own luggage
She was a black lab, so well behaved and really kind to everyone (expect this one black poodle which was her arch enemy for some reason). Anyway her two favorite things in life were food and swimming. As soon as she was off the leach and there was any kind of water close by, there … More Reminds me of our old dog 🙂
Found this interesting piece on why tipping might not be as good as the intention behind it. I do agree with the arguments in this video but I then wonder how easy it is to change this kind of a culture. Up here in Scandinavia tipping is slowly becoming culture but its nowhere close to … More Should tipping be encouraged or not?
