Some jobs give you nice opportunities like travelling to places you would not go otherwise, like Oman. Oman is a small country in Middle East, ruled by a Sultan, so it is a Sultanate, and which as many other countries in the area has pretty high life standards due to the gas and oil to be found in their underground.
I did not have much time to walk around the place, but managed to get some first impression after some talks with locals, as well as a couple of short drives around a small city and the capital, Masqat.

I have mentioned several times how much I like to find some free time to take a walk in the most centric big park in Madrid, Retiro. Last week, I have been twice. One on a sunny warm Saturday morning, and also on a foggy weekday. Two totally different moments to realize Winter is here in a natural environment.
A new year has just started and it is time to review the past year and prepare the new year’s goals.
Looking back to 2010, it has been quite a satisfactory year. I guess my main goal one year ago was to achieve some sort of change happen in my professional life, and I managed to get it by mid-year by changing role, company and industry; and I cannot really complain about the rest of aspects in my life. So, the review of the last year is full positive.
Regarding the new year’s goals, after reading this article in HBR, I have decided to share some of those with you, so I fulfill both the female and male requirements: writing them down and making them public.
First, in one year time, I will try to be studying French at some level. In order to make sure I achieve this, this should mean that I should be attending regularly French classes. Why French? Well, why not? I prefer starting with a new one, rather than improving the ones I have.
Second, I have already started a new project related to one of my hobbies: photography. This project is quite common among people who like taking photographs to make them take pictures even when there is no reason for that. As you normally publish them, you normally try not to make random pictures but to think them a little bit, improving your skills hereby. So, my project is called 52 Weeks (yes, I did not find a less original name for it), and can be found online. This goal will be achieved if I successfully publish a picture every week (I am a bit more relaxed about the fact of having taking the published picture that very same week…).
There are more, but I still keep something for myself. Internet knows already quite a lot about me. Let’s see what we can do with 2011.
