Let’s call it “Screening”
Situational oscillations
My next job – Tour guide
The tag line will be: “We’ll get you there – no matter what”.
One day after work in Malta I decided to go to St. Julian’s but couldn’t bother checking which bus to take, where from etc. Instead, I decided to take a walk even though it was extremely hot and humid outside.
Walking along the coast would take forever, so a quick look at the map suggested the most direct route.
Uphill, then a bit to the right and a sharp left. Total of cca 1km.
How hard can it be?
Let’s take a look
It’s all about the context
On a recent trip to Malta I had the stunning views of Valletta from the hotel room terrace.
Well, actually…
Malta
Just when I thought I couldn’t visit country smaller than Lithuania…
A weekend in the White House
No, not that White House.
I’ve been out of Casablanca for almost two years.
Although I do like the city I can’t say I missed it since I don’t care much for the work here. I’m not a big fan of generalizations based on nationality (these are dumb, these are ugly, these have no sense of humor,…) but my work experience here fit nicely into generally accepted stereotypes linked to this part of the world.
Simply said, (again, based on stereotypes) every known work related clichĂ© linked to say, Swiss, is the complete opposite in Morocco. Let’s be honest, I’m the last person whose photo will be printed next to the term “hardworking” in the dictionary but local guys can drive even me crazy.
But, let’s go back to the positives. The climate is great, prices are similar to those in Zagreb (which, knowing that the local average income is roughly half as much as in Croatia, must make life pretty expensive or locals), there are tons of coffee shops (very important aspect wherever I travel), the city is modern but once you scratch the surface a bit, enough local specifics related to lifestyle, food, architecture etc. can be found to make one aware of being on another continent and in a very different culture which makes things all the more interesting.
The problem is that I already spent a lot of time here, explored the place quite a bit so now I found myself in an unusual situation:
– not having to work over the weekend
– weather is great considering it’s mid-October
– I have no idea what to do
Lithuania
