Today was holy Friday which of course meant more meetings for ex-pats who take advantage of the nearly no traffic to actually get around. Due to jet lag and a late night, I was able to easily bow out of the early morning breakfast meeting but was in time for the next 2 hr partner meeting, followed by an inter-agency meeting, lunch and a visit to a new project office (followed by work, dinner mtg and night Skype call with DC). The staff was so excited to show it, they met us on their day off. And it was quite fancy - a brand new renovation in a building that is still very much under construction. The office will oversee the collection of country agriculture data, forecasting and associated research studies. All very impressive. But the best part of this space - the view of the famous parliament building.
Per the wikipedia entry, built in 1961, there is a lake on the other three sides:
