Hi Ho, Hi Ho...

It's off to work Nadirah goes as I sit around the hotel room.

I sucked it up and bought a bike yesterday - for $300! Now, this is the most expensive bike I have ever purchased. You may ask yourself how sweet and cool my bike is, and how cool I must therefore be by association. My $300 bike looks like something from 1920 that is rusted out, with old school fenders and a little light. No handbrakes either, the old school pedal brakes from when we were kids. Yes, this glorious testament to mankind's ingenuity cost me that much - and the seller told me I'd be lucky if it lasted a year before being stolen. As far as I can tell, I may have gotten a bit of the old tourist screw job, but only 40 bucks or so. The bikes actually cost this much since everyone needs one I guess.... in case you were wondering, the seat hurts my butt.

So, while Nadirah is working away, I have to come up with some things to do around here by myelf (no fun sightseeing without her!). One funny little thing I noticed - your computers here require you to take breaks. Every half hour on her work computer a little message pops up telling you to take a 5 minute break and gives you exercises to do. If you ignore it, it says it will report you under some law - pretty cool!
