I started off by picking up laundry, which is always a good thing. Then I met Aaron and his friends at the Bazaar. Angela was a no-show. But we walked around the tents and glanced at stuff. The merchants are still too pushy to be comfortable with the shopping process, but it was about average for around here. Eventually we made our way to the food tent. There's one guy, with his family I think, and he cooks food there for people. So for $10, I got lots of rice, beans, a couple kebabs, 3 dumplings, and a big thing of fresh naan bread. It ended up being way more than I could eat, but it was all very good! Perhaps not up to our sanitation standards, but it was good to try. Even better, I don't feel sick in the slightest.
After that, I went to work again, and had some minimal progress on an itinerary. I am not too stressed at this point, because most everything is in place, and we're still a few days away from execution.
Then I was bored, and realized that soap is good to have in the shower. So Zuromski and I walked to Eggers so I could get some soap and a blanket at the PX. After that, we grabbed dinner at a place called the Koala House. It's still government/military food, so we didn't have to pay, which was good. It is apparently where the Army Corps of Engineer people hang out. It was nice because it was quiet and the hamburger was pretty good. So I had lots of new food today, and I'm none the worse for wear.
I had a group of people request an office call of me today, which was pretty cool. Funny, really. But I will humor them and we'll meet on Sunday to talk about one of the upcoming trips. Pumpkin got a dinner meal tonight, and she was pretty happy for that. And on the way back, I saw Panda on the roof of a makeshift tent that someone put up. The picture isn't great, but you can tell there is something on the roof!
Not too much else today. Tomorrow is a normal day of work. Good night.
