finally ive started some sort of journal, some way to show more pictures of my experience so far. This is the picture of the airport. It was really scary to land there because its not like any other airport. There is no english and no shops - its a pretty dreary place. Luckily there was a driver there to pick me up, even tho he didn't speak a word of english.
this is the view from my room. Although the window is small its got a nice outlook. The streets are really awesome even tho they are run down:
some scenery on my walk to work:
the cup of super sweet tea that was delivered to my desk:
a small street in the medina (old city) with a green window:
the arch of Marcus Aurelius - some famous Roman Emperor built in 163AD (impressive stuff) apparently it is built on some axis of the old roman city of Oea which is now Tripoli - this is the only existing roman monument in the city.ok, till next time

ReplyDeleteGreat pic. Seeing your picture of tea, reminded me of a book that i want to read called "Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace ... One School at a Time" and the title of the book comes from a a Balti proverb: "The first time you share tea with a Balti, you are a stranger. The second time you take tea, you are an honored guest. The third time you share a cup of tea, you become family..." You should ask a local if there is a similar value in Libya ... might be interesting to pursue.
