What with the extra few hours last night for the World Bank meeting in the evening, it was a long week. I did get a lot accomplished preparing outputs for MoF and the Bank. We're back at the World Cup tonight at 9 with Brazil and Nederlands then Ghana and Uruguay in the late game. Tomorrow we are treated to Argentina / Germany then Paraguay / Spain.
Just watched Brasil lose ... wow! I am up until 1:30 to watch the late game too. It was packed in the bar for the early game. Bye bye Novak! I like that guy. Just watching Murray and Nadal. Where's Federer? Did he play Wimbledon? I spoke to the hockey deity tonight and got a thumbs up on the acquisition of Gonchar. Whatever Eeeeeeeen says goes.
I dined out tonight and decided in some local and almost all western restaurants here, meat or cheese dishes come swimming in a sea of grease. I guess that is the way of telling stupid ferenge to eat pho ba or ga (pronounce phir please).
I am hoping it's cool enough minyana to walk so I can spend a few hours doing just that. I think I'll watch the 9PM game tomorrow evening too. I got some lunch again today from a street vendor. I have bought from this lady many times before. I think I am getting the friendly discount; the first few times I was there lunch was an outrageous 95 cents and now I get it for 80 cents. 90 cents ... what a rip-off.
I had an especially nice time at work today with a few of the people I work with ... the Trangslator (of course) and Mr. Minh and Mr. Hanh too. I think the ladies in the office find ferenge quite funny and love to listen to Trangslator translate what I say in meetings. All of them are sponges for knowledge. I told the Trangslator today that there are words to the westminster chimes that announce the start (7:30) and end (4:30) of the work day ... go home Michael, time to go home. Try it, they fit perfectly into these chimes.
