The heat wave has broken and it will only get to 35 today instead of the 40's where it was all last week. The breakfast at Horison was great and I headed off to the office too early. Room 702 was still locked when I got there, even though my badge did open its door yesterday after lunch. A colleague rescued me and I worked in an adjacent office until the door opened.
I had a few emails with Naomi regarding hotels in Seoul and she will be sending me some URLs and I will book. I want to be close to her and hope she will not be working Monday so we can hang. I would like to see her school and students so I hope we can fit that in.
I had the best sleep of my trip so far. I watched Portugal thrash PRK last night and felt badly for the PRK supporters. I struggled with the name of the country indicated by "PRK" and then it was obvious ... Democratic People's Republic of Korea aka North Korea.
Every morning at 7:30 then again at 4:30 in the afternoon, Westminster chimes ring in the building indicating the start/end of the work day as well as the turning on/off of the air conditioning. It reminds me of the Fungham's clock I purchased from Shirley Mac in the 70's that died and remained unfix-able 15 years later.
Tonight I have no plans. I will go over to the World Bank to give them some money for my entry visa letter at noon to save the drudgery of the return trip in rush hour. I will probably walk after work and just grab a cab back to Horison when I have had enough of the heat ... what heat! It's only 35 :). I uploaded pictures to Facebook and will do more. They are not very Mac-friendly at work so I will leave my Eeepc here and take the Apple back to the hotel. The work is feverish and today or tomorrow I will contact Mr. Tri and ask his advice on dealing with all the requests for stuff to be done that are flowing in.
I will contact Parminder in Tanzania to see if he will still be around when my Sweet Thing is there in October for some work through the college.
