ANSWER: 285 days not in the UK between September 08 and august 09 while I journeyed through my gap year.

Saturday, 13 June 2009

being home

so i arrived a week ago (yes a week early but hey, i was really ready to see people). it has also given me a week to sort out some of the more concerning issues and be on my feet before i head off again away.

so i think that i would say i am used to actually being in a western country again and i would say not enjoying the western ways but not shocked and about to tell off my run for running the tap a sec longer than there was a pan under it!

it is so interesting to see that i am careful of the amount of water and also the force of water (enough to do job but not to watse) so i need to be careful and just allow this trip to change me but not make me change others. this is an example of a situation but i can see others arrising with views to aid and policial issues that are occuring and may ocur in the near future.

i hit the ground running with starting back at work on monday morning with a quick induction shift again followed an few shifts this week. next week is looking quieter so hopefully will be able to catch up with some more people as that is when i am going to be less shocked. the funniest was proberly when i was at an cafe one morning for breakfast meeting up with an close family friends of mine beofre school and just being in 'awe' of the options and avaiblilty and access to having my croissent warmed :)

but as i now feel better i am hopeing to be able to start updating the missing parts of my trip up hear, and then im looking forward to using this summer and the last of my travels to unravel the thoughts that have been brought up whilst travelling. both through conversation and also to the spiritual side as i have journed into what God is the teh world and how he works in those places; therefore allowing me to be able to choose who i feel God is calling me to be. [not sure if worded right but comment and i can always reply]

thanks for being patient while i have been in africa and seeing a new world and starting lots of journeys of friendships off.
