Moving Vegetables...?
My first full day at the office. Finally a chance to get caught up on e-mail. Nothing new to report yet but hopefully I’ll have written back to most of you and/or set up this weblog soon, instead of saving these on my laptop for later posting. I learned today that about 50% of my job will likely involve a project to help transport vegetables from farms to market more effectively. Tomorrow I make another trip to the field. This time I’m going to Svai Rieng province on the Vietnamese border overnight to see one of our irrigation projects and/or a factory producing fertilizer pellets. To think that I was worried about being cooped up in an office before I arrived here. ;) I’m back in the office later this week to begin meetings concerning the vegetable transport project.

heyyyyyyy!!!
sounds so awesome! especially the cockroaches part. If I were there, I would do a toast with you, holding the cockroaches by the stinger, going "cheers!", and then shooting them back and going 'AAAAAAHHHHHHH!'
haha, look forward to the other posts.
Chris: Come visit. We can do snails and spiders too! ;)
Anne: Glad you're enjoying the posts. :)
Adina: Happy to be able to drag you kicking and screaming into the modern age. ;) No kidding about the wealth disparity but we've already chatted about that by e-mail. Sadly, no takers on the Tilley for cow trade. Probably for the best. My neighbours in the big city probably wouldn't appreciate livestock living in a second floor flat. ;)
Vicki: Thanks! I miss UW too. Glad to hear the Eng play went well. I gather you've been getting more invovled with EWB too. Good on you!
Glen: Long time no speak. Glad I could bring back some memories for you. I remember your shots of New Zealand once inspired me to travel more. Happy I can return the favour.
Sam: Understood. I will lose the Tilley Hat at Angkor Wat. It's the closest to Sinai we've got around here. ;) I stand by the purchase too. Many thanks to said anonymous donor. ;)
