there is something i have noticed lately, i don't know if it is true or not but just a feeling i have. in the office where i work, there are people from different coutries. the general thing i noticed is that arab and africans and also east europenean feel that sometimes they are discriminated by europeans. i know it is not fair to say that all europeans are like that, cos we can't judge a whole neighbourhood by the act of few people we encounter. it is just that i wonder why some people feel they are discriminated, why this is a general feeling even if it is not true, but the trend is to believe that and to relate everything that happens to this issue.
i don't know if u follow me a little.

I look to the page in front of me, trying to think what to write... but i fail. like there is nothing to say. i keep on writing then i press the delete key. if u think i'm depressed or something, not at all.

African proverb

Quand un arbre tombe, on l'entend;

quand la forêt pousse, pas un bruit.

When a tree falls down, we hear it;

when a forest grows, not a sound.

i received it today in my mail and thought to share it with u.

what do u think? waiting for ur comments.

I think that we always here about the bad things, but the good things, they are done in slience.

impressions

tIt has been a week since i arrived here, in Libreville.
I can’t say I really explored the country, I just go from work to hotel and from hotel to work, except on the week end, I went for a long walk, more than hour and when I go to eat with my colleagues or go to the supermarket.
The strange thing that I didn’t expect at all is that it is more expensive than in Egypt, like Europe or even more, almost everything is imported.
When going out of the supermarket, there is guy to mark the receipt u had paid, I don’t know what is the reason, but I noticed it in 2 supermarkets.
I ate fried bananas, they are really cool, it reminds me the ‘batata’.
People here take lunch break, they go out of offices, so during that, u can see a lot of cars in the streets (but still not that much compared to cairo).
Yesterday night, it was raining a lot, with thunder and lightening, and yet this morning, everything is calm, the sea is really peaceful.
I can see the sea from my room, it is a beautiful scene, it reminds me whenever I look that I’m miles away from home, like a small paradise.
