I'm sorry my post was sooo long. I just looked up to see where you are in Greece.
You're on a coast? By the water? I'd go there in a heartbeat! It's on my BucketList actually
Pretend you're a tourist. Go site-seeing. Learn about this beautiful place, it's culture and people. Maybe you will understand better how things are done.
By staying frustrated, and I do understand it, it keeps you outside and does nothing to make it better for you? It's also seemingly chauvanistic? I find that annoying but it's how it is. Can't change what is but we can change how we react?
Here's some links and I do hope the perspective changes and it's better for you and your daughter.
I can appreciate your frustrations. Been there done that. I also found that the angrier I was at the situation, the worse things became for me.
The I realized I was doing it to myself. Yes. Because it was so very different from what I was accustomed to, it angered and frustrated me. In many places you come to "expect" a specific reaction and when you don't get that, it angers you.
So.. don't expect the same reaction there that you would get at home for similar situations. Have no expectations. NONE. This will immediately decrease your frustration 50 fold. If the places, people and things were all the same there would be no point of having left where you started from right?
If you go out looking for a fight, and I'm not saying you are but realistically, after having the same negative experiences time after time, you end up starting out angry before you even get to the reason you went out. Does that make sense?
When I first started travelling to the Caribbean for diving, I would get soo irrirated at how lonnnng everything took to do. To make a phone call, to get another pillow, to buy a mango. ARGH And then I stopped one day, got out of my own "self" and looked around. This is not Canada. They do NOT do things lightening fast here the way they would at home so.. Im thinking that they should? How wrong is that? lol And since then it's been wondeful and I see others getting all steamed up all the time lol
Breathe. Try to find some good in this situation. Is the scenery good there? What are the local villages like? Do you have any hobbies you could develop while there? Try intregrating into the social fabric a bit more and then you might also make a friend. And that friend can explain to you how and why things are done there the way they are. It might actually make sense to you.
You might like it. But do try please. It's a new adventure and the only one who can ultimately control if it's good or not is you
You're both right. It was your OWN personal experiences so neither of you can tell the other that they are wrong or incorrect. This is how it starts ....every time.
I would LOVE to go to a Muslim country for a visit. I would however, this time probably wear a Sari or Burkha. The last time I was a Muslim country, being very young and naive, I was not dressed properly and it was not comfortable. Shorts and a t-shirt didn't cover me enough to avoid the looks
Amenda I love your thread. It is fun and I laugh hard when I read it. Thank you
Thank you for telling me how much ingredients I put in. I'm learning to cook in different ways but it's like learning all over again.
Your English is getting better

I have a hard time seeing anything in a tank nowadays. I much prefer to be in the water watching them deek in and out of the coral reefs, or just swimming past my mask like I'm not even there. These wonderful creatures aren't limitless but sadly we treat them as if they were. I was in Isla Mujeres last summer {snorkelling with whalesharks} and on one of our golf cart tours of the island, I came across a factory? buildings? where they were filleting nurse sharks. There was about ten of them in there-all about 8' plus. The worker explained that these were very dangerous and had to be killed to keep me safe. Meanwhile, on the other side of the island, for 10 U.S. dollars you could get into an enclosure and have your picture taken holding an adult nurse shark.
Nurse sharks are docile creatures for those of you who might not know
My favourite destinations are mostly in the Caribbean but other places as well. So here's what I would do. I'd have to hop from place to place for the length of the volunteer stay but that would be just heaven to me.. to be around all these wonderful creatures.
Bahamas dolphin projects.
The Elephant Orphanage is a sanctuary for rescued, injured or abused elephants in Sri Lanka.
I'm very clear about who my "friends" are. I'm not intimate with my "friends". I am, however, intimate with my lover.
Bob. it's time to feel "ok" and confident about choices you make as an adult. I don't think you should feel "obligated" to make others happy or conform to their ideals when it comes to this choice. This is very much a "Bob" choice, and no one elses. Guilt is a wastful emotion.
YOu have no control over who turns you on and who doesn't.
