Well im here, I touched down this morning in the Land of skyscapers... and its just that; there certainly are many tall buildings here, which seem to stretch out high into the hazey abyss. After a restfull flight, i caught a taxi from the airport to the hotel and then headed to work. The roads are certainly going to take a bit of getting used to, as everyone seems to drive at 100 km/h and they dont appear to be very easy to figure out.
I arrived at the WSP Middlle East office and things were quite different from the South African office, which i suppose in away was to be expected, but the SA office is much nicer, more roomer and have far less people in it... Everything seems to be more organised in the SA office which is very surprising, so i think it might take a little while to get used to.
So here i am feeling a littel dazed and confused about how i am really feeling. The reality is that this first week is going to be very challenging to say the least, a day at a time kinda stuff and im sure things will slowly start making more sense. im not sure where the wild idea developed to step out of my comfort zone and leave home, big step of faith, being uncomfotable is never easy.. infact it feels as though the walls close in from every side, i write these thoughts because im sure some of you identify with them at sometime in your life. There are many positives that you can draw from such times.. it really makes you question things, about whats really important in life and really dig deep to find out who you really are if we are brave enough to face ourselves.
On a positive note, im sure there are many positive things to look forward to here and once i have begun to meet people and settle in, im sure that i will gain much perspective on these tough times. After all our purpose is not to build a kingdom of comfort but rather the kingdom of heaven.
