In the end we found a nice place to stay but we couldnt check in till 10.30.. but we had something else we had to do.. we needed our visa for Thailand and the queues also start at stupid AM. We dropped our bags and went in search of the Embassy. That took a ...

... br> Work was interesting this week because we were building our base of knowledge about the laws we were going to be working with. The real drama of the week was the housing situation. It was actually a kind of sad process because a lot of feelings got hurt and it was frustrating because some people wanted to live together and everyone else felt excluded...it could have been handled so much better.

At one point some people cleared out and put hoses away. Soon after military personnel went walking by, it was moments later that everyone was back at it.

... glistened in the afternoon sunshine. The place was surprisingly uncrowded at the time but we managed to get a friendly tourist to snap a commemorative photo for us.
