three more days of work!
I submitted an *official* resignation letter last wednesday for my last day of work this wednesday. Also, as an aside, for those who didn't know the weekend in Kuwait is Thursday and Friday. Saturday-Wednesday is the working week - this is due to the fact that in Islam the day to go to the mosque is Friday, so they make their weekend around it in almost all middle eastern countries. So, that being said I will have one long weekend left to lounge around (I've been working full time) and then I leave on Sunday night/monday morning at the bright and early hour of 1AM.
I will be flying through Amsterdam again, and again with an 8 hour layover - this time I think I will go on a tour to some of the cities neighboring Amsterdam - the Hague, the Gelph porcelain factory and Madouradam which is this awesome little park with miniature buildings all made to scale (check out the link). If you ever are stuck at the Amsterdam airport you should try taking the tours they offer, right out of the airport. This particular tour I want to take costs 50 euros, which might be a little bit expensive...I dunno. It's cheaper than staying in Amsterdam lol. Actually with entry fees and transportation, it probably isn't that exorbitant.
On Saturday I am getting my stuff packed, which I realized (duh) means I will be internetless for some four days before I have to go. All of our furniture and our TVs are loaners from the government though, so at least I won't have to sleep on the floor.
Bubbles the cat will be accompanying me back to Cape Cod next sunday, which means that anyone who visits us this summer will get to see her!
Also I still haven't made that food pyramid... haha
