So, I’ve finally got a few spare hours and there are many things I should be doing, but they can wait.
The reason I’ve been so busy is that Dave and I have been touring TV studios with the lovely folks from ESPF (our host organisation), trying to get a good deal and get the project off the ground. Catherine layed a ton of foundations for us in her time here, and is still helping out a great deal (she’s back in UB teaching and lives with Dave and myself in our huge pad), but we’ve still got a huge amount of work ahead. It’s going to be a hectic year, but lots of fun too.
It was Reisha’s birthday last night and after a great Indian meal in a big tent restaurant (with a picture of Steven Segal signing near the entrance), we headed to a huge bar where you can buy beer by the liter and vodka by the bottle. I was exhausted, so I only had one (normal beer that is, not a liter) and crashed early.
Today we start language school in the afternoon, which is why I have the time to write this, then Dave and I are checking out the video/multimedia fascilities at the Heath Sciences Uni, which we can apparently use for free.
Tomorrow, our boss is taking us out to the countryside for the day with a few of the staff from ESPF. I’m told Terelj is a beautiful place, and the staff are all great, so it should be a fun little trip.
This morning I was making breakfast to the sound of the garbage truck playing a Mr Whippy style tune, repeated ad nauseum. I turned on the TV to drown it out and there was a girl in pink leotards figure skating to Jimi Hendrix’s “Little Wing”. UB is a bizarre place.
More soon.
