How Do You Know If A Scopio Like You

Almost reached the end

Hello ... Just now I am back in Damascus. It is soo amazing. I'm looking forward degree that it worked in the last week everything. And today: 8 hours on the road, no problems at the border, and just now have found a hotel room!
This is probably as with the visa: Is there a message in the home country, there must be a visa for Syria benatragt. There are probably one in Germany. I have it but not sought. This has led to uncertainty here now. But since I have 3 visa in my passport, had been the 4th now on the way back, luckily no longer a problem! Everything understood? ;-)
Tomorrow I am going home, to Beirut. What is super easy because I've already done 1000 times. ;-) Outcome of trip: Jordan is super nice! I like really good! I would recommend (almost) everyone! Wish you all a Happy!

How To Draw Slipknot Nine Pointstar

Aqaba

Today I arrived in Aqaba ...! later with the Jett bus for 5JD we went to Amman and release no 4 hours, I have arrived. So far I think the city actually quite beautiful. Is somewhat smaller and therefore everything is somehow easier to find. So really warm isses this evening. But nevertheless outdoor food good in it! Even in Amman, I met at the bus stop a Spaniard, with whom I share now, even a hotel room because cheaper. The name I can remember I have not, I do not soo habs quote at least by name-but white I that he is 26, comes from Catalonia and teacher.
The plan for tomorrow: A little bit of running around, sitting on the beach, reading ...
Somehow I remember because of the way back a little. Somehow haunts me since my arrival in Jordan, a rumor that it is not possible on the Syrian border to get a visa. I just hope that this is just a rumor, or that I find a reasonable level officials. Otherwise, the return trip is now completely chaotic: From the border somehow back to Amman and then but in the very expensive plane that is soo not what I would have quite the delight!

me here by the way has been obtained, the Lebanese daily politics. Only in Amman, I found the daily star - Jaja I do not find some of the soo good, but there are also enough Rheinpfalz readers ;-) - I always read in the office. In any event there on the front page a report about Israel and the latest action in Lebanon. discard short time with a few planes over Beirut and the PFLP camp one or two bombs. I was shocked a little bit when I read the ... I must admit.

Soo that's it for today for the first time then makes good times!

Pokemon Crystal Vba Files

Amman-Aqaba-Amman-Damascus-Beirut

I was shopping today: first, a new clock, and then another 5 DVDs. First, Syriana, which I would most like to look the same. Second, the 5th Season of OZ, a show that I have always been viewed in America on HBO. A bit like Like "Behind Bars," a little bit crass, perhaps.
This morning I am asking about flights. Would have been nice: all aboard the plane, and down to Beirut. Is relatively cheap, but still a bit too expensive. Now the way back is probably quite stressful. I am going down tomorrow to Aqaba. And since there are no direct flights to Damascus, I returned to Amman on Saturday, then north to Damascus, so that I can return to the West in Lebanon. That adds at least 15 hours bus and I will now pause possibly even 2 stops. So I do not know whether I can really soo at 1.1. to be back in Beirut.
Yesterday I am indeed of the Austrians / Election Berliners Gabi und Klaus adopted, at this point that I want to greet. Later I meet up with yet Tolee to a Coffee Shop. Then I'll probably back early to the hotel, unpack and read a little Harry Potter, I surprise like that. Though of course not as great as everyone says
;-) Many greetings and my sister and Frank (already) a nice birthday!

1500w Heater Trips Breaker

Amman

Monday morning I'm actually done it, got up early and take a taxi to the station. There, I have 2 Austrians, middle-aged acquaintance, and we have gewartetet together on the train. After some back and forth, we are finally at 8 clock in the relevant train (2 extremely old cars) and were entered for the next few hours alone. No other passenger! And so it went so slow in the desert. With 35kmh and as if on a road with countless potholes. After a long stop, irgedendwas has probably not quite soo, does it arrive in Deraa. Change in Jordanian train, which was older and had only one long side Holsbank. Again eternal waiting for another train. But people are so incredibly friendly and helpful and an older woman is the first time, went home and made tea for all.
When it finally started, our compartment was the only Loaded with eggs, vegetables, bread, etc. I soo was half asleep, despite the cold, when suddenly a window is broken. I just see during the pre-driving: Rock-throwing children. It all depends ever before ...
really up to the last stop in Mafraq, threw great. Was so funny and we arrived there was a 80! Syrians year old first time in the city to change money and then taken care of my Jordanian visa. But then, all got out and continued driving, the last 2 hours, have moved to Amman something. It was extremely cold, dark, loud. I was really happy when we finally arrived at 7:30 (!!!) in Amman. Normally, a trip by bus takes maybe 4-5 hours ... I just have
gefruetueckt the hotel, and will I now make time on the way: look at downtown.
you soon! Your Simon.

Ward Ap Biology Lab #8

does the rain in the snow in the cold

Hi ...!
To the general informed awareness contribute today a new entry, here. Last night we had in our flat so a really nice Christmas. Good food, punch and carols. These outdoors rain, storm and tempest. And today should then start my trip: Beirut-Damascus-Amman: The morning has started something unfortunate: I overslept. Damn! Actually I wanted to get up early. But my alarm clock did not work! If I would have Andre (my roommate) is not awakened, would have all probably not soo really works. At 12 I I finally made their way to the bus station. Was a little bit excited, I must admit. Before departure, I then met by chance, another German with whom I have done together on the road. When the taxi driver (a taxi driver here has somehow always on) then the same time double the sum demanded, and so not at all left to an offer, I've already figured that the trip to Damascus would not be soo easy. Hardly our taxi had reached the foot of the mountain, were first tire (I've never driven in snow chains ... sounds funny) is made and we went in from the snow ... walking pace! I had no luck the way, on the border and have problems a very cheap to get transit visa. Sun at 7, we finally arrived in Damascus and isses here already damn cold!
was I just ask to Andre (the German travel companion) from the station because my train tomorrow. Then we have eaten a trifle and now just briefly on the Internet.
Tomorrow it for me on to Amman. That means getting up at 6am but! Since I will spend 2-3 days. Then I'll go a bit further, perhaps to the Red Sea! In Aqaba hats end of the week 24 degrees! Are dependent but had another 222km more ... We'll see. On the towing vehicle, which is 10 hours (the train was built in 1905 in Nuernberg and drive containing only 40kmh times now ...) I've got time to read.
short: Up Now everything goes really well. Hope with you as well. Best regards to Germany and Beirut!

Afrin Burned My Throat

From superstars and checkpoints

The last weekend had to offer to review some surprises, which I will not hide from you! It all starts on Friday. Katja, Janne and I are going again in the evening at the Nova, a very nice club dance music. Somehow we know the people there already. Is indeed not surprising. Man falls to a halt for so little. Anyway, I feel like another for a beer. At the bar, the bartender shakes his head and give me decide instead to second Eventually resigned and will pay, as the bartender shakes his head again. When he was not even accept the money for a bottle, understand I know that he has invited me! I was pleased fully. In the end, just before the homecoming tour we will also be donated for 3 Tequilla!

In the taxi. From a distance I can see the checkpoint and I think hopefully we can probably just drive through. But the police wants us to stop. All right. There are then suddenly a few police officers at the taxi and show steadily at me. So I presented my passport. But the show still on me. So I get out. Katja wants to follow me. But the "No Madame" stops them. I must put my hands on the car as the first roof and I really thoroughly sampled. When I want to take my hands again, I will signal to them that I want but please leave where they are, until the procedure is over. I will still need to empty all my pockets. Only then we are allowed to continue.

on Sunday. Actually, we want to go to the book fair. But Zied, my roommate from Tunisia, has tickets for "Super Star". A joy of it's participants. So we off to taxi to the studio of SinElFil FutureTV. We sit in the LiveUebertragung, in the very front of the 2nd Series. Hats anyone noticed? ;-)

yet soo a little thing that I am somehow I get myself a donut for breakfast occasionally. I come this morning to the small business. Since my donut is already ahead of me on the counter, without my having to say something!

work Not

is now this week again almost over, it is just amazing how fast time flies. Speaking of time. Actually, just it Christmas time? But I somehow I was still not as vorweihnachtlichlichen really feeling may, perhaps due to the fact that it is quite warm in Beirut and I'm running around every day with the T-shirt. And if you like for there to have mulled wine, Jagertee or in my case, and Katie's hot orange with Berentzen grain apple thinking?

The first few days this week, I've, as below indicated, spent in the UN building. And it was kind of funny this morning to take a taxi and go there (and here, as so often pay twice as much as usual really, but this is still cheap ... morning, but I can not act simply .. . Sorry), but instead return to the office. There, so a lot of work has been waiting for me. Especially for the annual report, which should be done. But also because of the conference report. The home would have to be updated again. And I have read for days and, accordingly, no newspaper waiting for all checked items on the newspapers that I copy, read or categories. And: Nothing is soo as old as yesterday's newspaper, right? I'm soo soo grad ... And you?

for the weekend so far has not really planned. Maybe go to the Book Fair, taking place right here. Perhaps, however, do nothing at all. Or perhaps a trip? It's like a supermarket: the choice is simply getting too big, no matter how small the shopping list! So I'm off shopping times
;-) Have a nice morning, day or evening, depending on when you're reading this!
