everyone went out except me, didn’t feel like going out due to some reasons and one of them is the headache am having since morning. I guess one week here is more than enough! I miss my country, my city, my neighborhood, my house, my room, my sweet eva, my car & even work! Yes I miss the daily route from home to Starbucks & then to work! did I ever mention that they don’t have starbucks! that might be a silly thing to mention here! it’s been one hell of experience! I’ve learnt a lot! more than I ever expected.. I came carrying my stuff in a suitcase worth 1000 Dhs/= and people here cant afford a place to live in, clothes to cover their skinny bodies from rain & sun. they are scattered everywhere sleeping on roads, under tress & made a torn cloth their shelter from rain. Some elder men & women chose beggaring as an official job for them to get some money to be able to survive a day!
I’m basically on the dirtiest spot of the world, it made me appreciate what I have! and realize how much I’m blessed! am not saying this is bad, NO! this is their life style, am sure if they had better resources they’ll have better place to be at.. but I guess this is life.. I wish if I can can describe the amount of poverty am surrounded with to you! at the moment am living with a family consisting of 6 members with their kind mother, who is devoting her time for them like any typical mother. They are too generous despite their shortage of money! they have two working sons who are sponsoring the expenses of this family. Along that, there is the neighborhood, very welcoming neighbors visiting & helping out the family who are hosting us. The kids are very funny! You can make them smile & happy very easily! just give them chocolate! our kids back home lost this sense of happiness of having a bar of chocolate long time ago! *sigh* I hope this feeling am having wont go after a month back home! and I hope people in my country value the blessings they are having! BTW, while writing this entry, the electricity went out twice.. 
and life goes on…

we can’t realize how much we are blessed until we see the other side of the world while they are suffering from the poverty.. “THANKS GOD FOR EVERYTHING”

Im really touched by what you wrote…its very true Dreamy Eyes we really are blessed…they seriously suffer from so much poverty yet they look for other ways to make themselves content…they are the happiest people Ive ever met regardless of their circumstances…imagine being in this heat where most of them dont have means of cooling in their homes..some of them pour water on the floor of the house to allow evaporation to cool the place down…you are right its good to count our blessings..I hope you have a good trip.
