News and Views

No photos today as I'm afraid we've been terribly boring and not done anything remotely exciting. We caught up on the latest movies (Music & Lyrics; Wild Hogs; Blades of Glory and Shooter), wandered around the malls, investigated local restaurants and generally watched more series than you could possibly imagine.

On Thursday night the SA embassy organised a Freedom Day party for all the SA expats here. It was actually quite impressive. Tables of braaied lamb kebabs, beef chops, potjie competitions and koeksusters. The best part really though was the poor valets trying to convince 200 odd saffers to had the keys of their cars over to them. As a nation we are taught to instinctively trust no-one and some strange indian guy asking us to leave our keys in the car with the engine running is likely to get a few odd looks!

Aside from that, it's the usual day to day grind combined with getting ready for M&J's visit on Wednesday followed by Geoff off to Bahrain next week and then our trip out to CT next weekend. Atleast that's 3 duty-free trips!
