CAMP LIVING

Have you ever wondered how Filipino OFW’s live while working in the deserts of the Middle East?  I do not mean the capital cities of the fully developed middle eastern countries where you can see all the beautiful often out-of-this-world architecture and where OFW’s having white collar jobs live in  high rise condominiums.  I mean the real desert where all you can see is miles and miles of sand. So, what are OFW’s doing in the middle of the desert?  Well, this is where the oil facilities of these rich-oil countries are located, i.e. oil refineries.  Many  Filipinos are working here, from skilled workers to engineers.  I had the opportunity to be assigned in such place, so here’s a peek of our camp.

A 32-inch LCD TV

Nice table.. two steps to the ref.

Now, I've moved in there...

Toilet and bath... ok lang

Let's go outside.... Tennis court

Basketball court

Hey, we've got a gym

Nice noh...

Billiards, anyone? With matching TV pa.

That's for now folks.  Actually, the above pictures were taken when we were just starting to move to camp.  The are more improvements now.  Would be nice topic for future posts.
