Hi everyone,
I hardly got any sleep because i was busy working on some music soundtracks last night, so i was feeling very tired,but Jamie’s exercises woke me up a bit.
The day began when we visited the Beduwins houses in the desert.The Government have built houses with gas,electricity and water to provide for them but they refuse to live there.All the houses were empty and the area was designated.I thought the archetecture was well built and the sandy colours blended in with the desert.
We then visited a shanty town called Aseela famously for its traditional doors and windows.There were alot of children just playing in the local area.They seemed really friendly and nice to talk to.The main aim for the visit was to find out metaphorically what’s behind the doors.
The best part of today was the visit to the Wahaba Sands Desert.We all went in 4×4 jeeps and had the chance to drive around big sand dunes.It was fun because it felt like being on a rollercoaster.
But the view of the sun setting was just amazing,it reminded me of a film.

What a great experience!! I lived in the Middle East myself for several years and always found the peolple very friendly. You are lucky to experience this culture firsthand. I heard about you via Maggie Farrow. I am in St. Catharines, Canada
