United Kingdom Trip (3)

assalamo 3alikom w ra7mato ALLAH,

More and more I believe it's too hard not to live among ur family and friends, but u can make it and not live in ur country. Since family and friends are in the country, so we live there and love it ... and we might think of the word "Family" as big as u can imagine.

Those days, starting last Friday till today, I've got to know my team-mates much much more, starting from Al-Jom3a prayer then London trip.
I followed my mates to London on Saturday morning, following the path to the Hotel they reside in. The trip started with taxi to the Train Station, a train to London Paddington station, then the Underground (the original ;) ) to Trafalgar Square.
My whole plan is to "visit the Big Ben"! ... what a shame :D

Ok, we had a walk in London streets, bought some stuff then met Abdul-Rahman (one mate) cousin and went together to the Tames, Big Ben, London Eye, Bukingham Palace ...I saw a 'sample' of the uniformaly walking soldiers infront of the palace, it was late enough to find the Stand Still soldiers with black fur cap
Ended the day with a dinner in a Persian Restaurant ..

London Eye

Next day, we met Artem (Architect in Mentor Graphics, maybe more...) and took us in another trip to Hyde Park, Harrods and the Science Museum... during that walk I had a speech with Ahmed (the second mate) ... and we got to know each other more, and I've got to know myself more... That was gr8

It's gr8 for a person to have a goal, plan to reach his goal..but he must put into consideration "People" either supporting or consuming. Listen to different opinions because most of the time a person has to take a Decision.
You'll find people in different zones around you, make sure to be so close to the closet zone people, and have relations with the second zone, and not to lose people in the third one ... and always make productive relations ... for ur Future, depending on how big ur goal is.

Yesterday night, we started our trip back to Newbury...and here I'm

I had a lot of thoughts ...the basic resource for any answer is the Plan, and to put a plan u should have a Goal, always find a goal

Till we meet again,

assalamo 3alikom w ra7mato ALLAH,

Missing u moooooooore...
That time i'm gonna talk about how is life here up till now...
It's quite, since we are in Newbury sides, not in the center.
We usually go work and return with a TME in the Altrincham office (who came to Newbury for that training too).
Mmmmm, I've no much interesting things to say about life here, although it's quite and clean..but we've not been to market places or dealing with citizens during that period, only with Mentor employees.
British, Japanese, American and Indian offices ... can't forget to mention the Russian genius ;) .. he's in one of the British offices.
I've got to know my direct manager in Newbury, a one higher, and the highest :D .. not that much...cuz those people had meetings, while I had training session on the tool I'm working on..that's interesting too.
The one resposible for my training (and my team-mate in Egypt) is our direct boss, he's so quite, helpful, experienced for sure and informative .. and we still have work to do for the coming week.

Well, for now I've no photos, wait my next post n-sha2-ALLAH (most probably the photos will be on facebook whenver available)

again, miss u alllll

United Kingdom Trip (1)

assalamo 3alikom w ra7mato ALLAH,

How r u all ? .. I started missing u :)
Here I'm in UK, more precisely in Newbury for 12 days, in a training for the company I'm hired in (Mentor Graphics)...
The trip started with British Airways, another perfect pilots while taking off and landing...during the last few hours (in a 5 hours fly) I've enjoyed the scene of montains covered with snow..and as usual in Europian countries, the scene of regular blocks (country divisions).

The view from the aeroplane

In the airport we have been delayed for security checks, I didn't expect that as it didn't happen in Germany, but it's a routine with Arab youth in UK (A) .. then "Welcome in UK"
We arrived in Heathrow Airport, then two cars were there to take us to the Hotel in Newbury "Donnington Valley" (Where I'm writing that post)
The guys (me and other two company colleagues)... couldn't check in the moment we arrived, cuz Rooms are not checked out yet...so we have had to wait for about hour-n-half in the lobby.
All passed, and we are now in our Rooms (service looks like Mariot Hotel, and architecture is like Grand Hotel) .. now we can think of how to enjoy our day! ;)

The view from my colleagues' window

Actually we are in Newbury country sides, so we had a walk to Newbury center (no more than 30 minutes), looking for Restaurants..and having a general look around.
Finally, nothing cheaper than ..McDonalds! .. I ordered a File-O-Fish meal, that was enough.
During our journey from and to the hotel, we had a talk about differnet topics, that was a better chance to know those guys better (even in Mc, that was a place where different opinions revealed -I guess u know-)


OK .. let's have a warm shower ... hah... gr8, now I can write the post and have a cup of Capoccino ;) (Tea, Coffee & Milk are available in Rooms, the Capoccino is mine :D)

see u next post n-sha2-ALLAH :)
