 Canada Day was on Friday this year. That day is our only day off at the project so we decided to celebrate the occasion at work a few days early. Our team has three Canadians on it–myself, Ren and Nidaa. Our client also has a Canadian on their staff – our friend Mr. Makram. |
 Ren and Nidaa and I planned a surprize for our international friends. Nidaa ordered a special Canada Day cake, Ren brought some Canadiana lapel pins, sponge balls and pencils to hand out and I printed up some posters to decorate the walls of our conference room. |
 Attendance at our impromptu party was great and everybody was having fun until I started to sing “O Canada” for them. Ren chimed in to try and save me but it was a futile effort and I eventually managed to pull him under too :). |

Everyone listened very politely but I expect they would have been happy just hearing the first few lines. It’s a good thing they hired me for my O&M experience and not for my singing.
I am really enjoying making so many new friends here, learning about everyday life in Kuwait and helping them learn more about life in Canada. It’s hard to believe that it was a year ago that Catherine and Emily and I spent Canada Day onboard Ananda in Toronto Harbour and that I was already over two weeks into my cruise. I wonder where I’ll be next year at this time!?……… Happy Canada Day Everyone!
