Islamabad 04

Monday: work until 9pm & rain
Tuesday: work until 9pm & rain
Wednesday: work until 10pm & wind

The situation here is pretty messy and Manu & myself have to fight with many issues... We were kicked out of the building at 10pm as they were shutting down the network & electricity to do some maintenance work...

Luckily we had a good time Wednesday evening, going out with Imran & Sajid to eat in a Food Street: somehow this is a big plaza with many food stands all around, from various different parts of Pakistan. We were of course the only 2 foreigners there but we got used to this by now! Food was really good & local, we thought we would have to eat with our hands but after a while they brought us a fork...

After dinner, had still a talk with Manu before he left back for Dubai, still trying to solve some issues!!!

Thursday: alone at work ;-) Finally sun is coming again and weather warms up, much better!! However work is even worse, all seems to be urgent and as there are 3 hours difference with Central Europe, most people start calling when it is lat afternoon here... Finally at 10:30pm we went for dinner. For a change Imran offered to go to an Italian restaurant. The idea was good, food was excellent - at first impression!!

Later the same night (rather early morning) I could appreciate the Italian food a few more time, guess we could call this the Islamabad Belly, same idea as the Delhi Belly...

Friday: situation really not improving, I'm still getting empty all the time but had to go to the office... Imran is not here yet so he might also be sick! So now I'm on Bioflorin and Carbon to keep liquid inside... :-((
