Thought of the day...

So, Sunday was the first day of Ramadan...basically for the whole month of September all muslims (except children, pregnant women and the elderly) fast from sun up to sun down NO liquids, no food)....this is an interesting concept, especially in a workplace where you sit in meetings all day long...by 2pm most of those in the fast usually fall fast asleep...and we are only on Day 3, so this will be an interesting month to see how far we get with everything...you learn very quickly to only plan meetings in the morning, and just go home early every day!

Also, I have finally got back on Skype, so anyone out there who uses Skype, my username is andrealynne78, or just enter my angelynne_thompson@hotmail.com account and you will find me...however, I can only use it when I am at work, as I don't have internet at my hotel (well I do but it is $30 USD per hour), but I often come in on weekends to do school work and stuff, so if ever interested in chatting just let me know, otherwise I am online during the day until about 6pm Nigeria time most days.

Nigeria is also in a bit of a state of confusion right now...we keep hearing the President is paralyzed or in a coma or dead...he is supposedly in Saudi Arabia, doing the mini hajj, but may actually be dead (not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion)...so the country is going a little crazy, so you may start to hear about escalated violence and stuff happening here...but, so far, so good, although there have been a few threats on the government, but I don't think that is really anything unusual for here!! All is well, but I will let you know if anything changes.
