I can smell the end...
It's been strange times on this side...
The 2 years contract is coming to an end and I still don't know how I feel about it... The truth is I've been running around like crazy finishing the project and trying to wrap up ends just to avoid thinking about it...
I do have many other adventures to post here, photos, stories and all, but the overload of work and the strong reticence to accept the fact that i do and will have to say goodbye at some point is hindering the whole process...
As you probably already know I'm headed to Burundi next, in a similar kind of project, this time only for 6 month, so Sophie's world in Asia will become Sophie's world in Africa...
As for now I've uploaded 2 new posts, enjoy and check soon, more to come!

Canoe in the Tuul River 31.05.09
On a beautiful spring day we headed upstream of the river Tuul (UB river) and wore our captain/marines/anything-like-it hats and off we went down the river to UB.
Very nice indeed when the cold weather's been playing hide and seek with the warm weather... as usual the scenery is stunning and with good company you can make the good times!
Lazy as I am, and you all know it... the paddling at the end against the very strong wind on a still water became part of the fun as i started barking (so they say! I was just expressing what everyone thought... bloody wind!!!)

Getting the canoes ready, waterproofing everything just in case...
It is just stunning, or have i been here too long?
you can guess what will happen next huh?
it was freezing cold...
sur la rive... on pose...
avec Capitaine Claire
it is true, the river was rather shallow hence very slow floating (except for the 2 second of excitement when the boys felt in the water), so getting a bit bored and tired of paddling all the time... we had to create the action!
la vue et les rencontres par contre tres sympa!
Life is hard sometimes...
This lady ran to the boys canoe and jumped in it... was quiet hilarious as she stay there for a while, and had to walk the river up to her camp afterwards... probably the vodka she was drinking didn't help her thinking...
Crepes & Poker... 30.05.09
Many wonder how we spend the time in UB... Sometimes making crepes (pancakes), if you find all the ingredients, exaggerating again, as it is possible for this one!
with the cooks Claire and Darima
And then we head for poker night...
Let me introduce you to Natasha, the Russian poker player...
Yes is me! I tried to role play the game so i could win against all the freaky-guys-semi-prof-players but even then i lost all my money! Good times though!
