Last night was the best nights sleep I have had since returning. From 11pm to 6am. Not quite as long as I need, but we're getting there. It is definitely summer, the streets are packed, the sidewalks full at night. Lots of visitors coming, including a distant cousin here now, and my dad coming in a matter of days. It will be like this till October. Work is going good. I am learning a lot about the organization still, how it works and who does what. The office is working on a new strategy on what to focus its aid on over the next 5 years. There is a marked shift towards job creation, and helping the small/medium enterprise sectors. I am happy to see this since I do believe the saying about teaching a man to fish is a good one. I should be putting a lot about this online at my work website soon, but only after it is all finalized, which will take a few more months :-)

So yesterday I read a little blurb about an Armenian restaurant in town I had not been to, and decided to go there with Edina who is visiting. Well it was not all that great. The dolma was ok, but otherwise it was rather weak I thought, and not cheap. That place has been one restaurant after another, and I doubt this one will last too long either without major change.

Tonight it seems like everyone was at this controversial play L.O.V.E. by a British group. I am the last person to go to these things, but rumor (unfounded as it turned out) of nudity swayed me :-) I will leave it up to the others to review it, since I am not much of a theatre buff.

I guess thats about all there is to report. My apartment is dagnu vra (upside down) and I have no desire to do anything about it...
