Day 9


We didn't manage to get a sample today which is frustrating but that's the way it goes. The roads here are flooded and yesterday we were blocked on country roads as lots of trucks & cars went off the road into ditches and had to be rescued. The rivers are chocolate brown. I can't stand the market anymore, it is so disgusting and animals are so badly treated that it is difficult to eat anything after seeing it. Today we stayed in a very good hotel and they had...english tea & coffee with...cakes! Yippee! Bernd and Rob are facing a tense evening as England and Germany will now be playing each other on Sunday!
In response to Irene's comment, I anticipated the defeat of the blues during the first round which is why I organised the sampling during the world cup. It helps me save face, something I am learning from my Chinese colleagues! Imagine going back to the office after loosing against both Mexico & SA :-(

  1. Rudy, you are really a wise man! I only hope, you will not have two excursions by monday morning!!
    If Germany wins and Bernd gets too excited, just mention one name: CORDOBA ;-))

    BTW: I have TMG for you, too
