During these four and a half years, multiple events have happened either in the West Bank or directly affecting the West Bank: the armed uprisings in the Northern West Bank, where I live; the genocide in Gaza; the War on Lebanon; the 12 Day War on Iran. The common denominator between all of these events are gates and checkpoints; they “multiply like rabbits,” as one friend remarked. Read more

Second day in London

Hee all! I'm sorry I didn't post a blog like I promised but in holland we say: better to be late then never do it... So after I got dropped off at the airport and said goodbye to everyone the journey begun. I took the plane to London. It was amazing! I live only 15 minutes away from the airport so we flew over my house and the lake I used to swim in. The flight was amazing I was sitting next to my classmate and friend Karishma, Karishma and I are friends for about 2 years know and every time we talk I can't stop laughing, she must be one of the funniest persons I ever met in my life.. When we arrived at the airport we needed to go to Greenwich where the real estate manager was.. We paid him the rent, fee and deposit and went to the house. I was scared about the rooms because I desperately wanted a big room so my friends can come over and sleep with me, but because "I'm such a great persons" I got the biggest room with a double bed... (Not exactly how it went but hè I don't need to get into details!) after we settled down and unpacked our stuff we went to the store to buy some kitchen wear, duvets and pillows.. I bought everything new at the primarkt and I spend only about 40 pounds (that's about 50€), I really enjoy being into London the people are nice, the house is great and the public transport brings you everywhere you want to go! Today I woke up with my roommates Karishma and I had (delicious) pancakes and Nutella for breakfast! After some talking about our first night me and Karishma went to Oxford street and Piccadilly Circus! The weather was awesome! It was about 20 degrees and I was able to wear short sleeves and my sunglasses. :-) After Oxford street and Piccadilly Circus we went to a small local shopping center "nearby" our house... It wasn't exactly nearby but it was the closest one for us.. There we bought some pans and food for the night. The first meal we cooked was macaroni because that is almost the only thing I can make... It was a great success every liked it and it was full of vegetables! The rest of the night we were chilling in the house with each other just talking, cleaning and laughing.. Tomorrow I'll be starting my internship at John Lewis, I'm looking forward on finding out what I need to do there and how it will be! But I think it all be alright! Till now I have NOTHING to complain about! I'm the happiest boy in London I think :-)! This is it for today!
