My Trip To Ala Ule

-

              An exciting trip to Ala Ule

 Towards east from Sheikh district.



 Apart from a good weather and the warm tempreture of the highland I decided to get one coat from a small nearby district "Sheikh" who also actually has historical evidence.
Eventually all was well, and the rest of my trip was great with nothing but positive experiences. One example is Wi-Fi was very hard to come by when I had visited. Luckily these guys in the Telesom building let me hang out and use theirs for free! The Telesom building was built in 2008 and was definitely the nicest building in Sheikh District. 

♡The best part I have excited the most is the way they arranged the water stream, they have build some sort small water stream yet essential to the farms as each and everyone gets it's own stream from the hill. Yes you probably asked yourself how come a water gets out of a mountain without getting in somewhere.
It's just unsolved mystery yet very complicated and once I have tried to interview some of the villagers their responce was not that much informative.
Some of them said that there is a horizontal long hole and once you get in straight you may not able to turn yourself around, plus once you go further the oxygen will decrease.


To be honest, the journey to Ala Ule was more of an adventure than the town itself! If you drive just 30 minutes outside of Sheikh, you can’t miss these gigantic tortoises walking around. The second tortoise we saw was actually in the middle of the road so we had to pull over and carry it off the street. After we saved its life, I figured the tortoise owed me a photograph but he refused to come out of his shell. A local man saw what I was trying to do and tried to help me out by prodding him with a stick.
Just north of Sheikh about halfway between the mountains and the coast, the landscape is hot and dry. As you ascend up into the mountains, the temperatures quickly get cooler.
The arid land and canyons seen will eventually give way to small shrubs and trees as you ascend several thousand feet. The canyons and lands around Berbera were bone dry despite all the rain I had received while in Erigavo. It seemed the weather on my trip was either very hot or in the middle of a downpour. Visiting Ala Ule offered some perfect weather and was definitely a highlight to my trip.

Reflecting at 25: Gratitude, Growth, and Future Aspirations As I turn 25 on December 17, 2023, I find myself standing at the intersection of the past and the future, taking a moment to reflect on the journey that has brought me to this point. Gratitude for Diverse Lessons: One of the most remarkable aspects of my journey has been the diverse array of people who have crossed my path. Each person, whether a fleeting presence or a constant companion, has left an indelible mark on my life. From profound life lessons to simple yet invaluable wisdom, I've learned that growth often comes in unexpected forms. Navigating Shifts: Working both morning and evening shifts from different locations has been a testament to my resilience and adaptability. The challenges presented have not only strengthened my work ethic but have also expanded my capacity to embrace change. In the ebb and flow of the daily grind, I've discovered the power of perseverance. Family, the Pillar of Support: Through...

From Zero To Hero

  Why I wrote this Book? I’ve never been much of a writer but the last few months I decided to write a book. Just like that. The book was meant to be a present for my students. They are at the stage in life in which the communication between us is difficult, to say the least. Because if you were around for the past few weeks I decided to retire for being a lecturer or as you call Teacher. So I thought, maybe it’s a good idea to use the written word to get my message across not only them but whoever might be facing difficulties in life and hardships.   The idea was to let them know about my point of view, about our relationship, about how I felt when I was at their age. On top of that, I offered plenty of unsolicited advice about life, the future, and the meaning of life. Most of that will probably be discarded as nonsense (an quite rightly so). Some of the main reasons why I wrote this book is: I wanted to show them that I care. They should know that, but often I feel they see...
