This is at an awesome restaurant in Charlestown, called Tangerine. Morroccan food, belly dancing, hookah bar all under one roof. We had one complete section of the restaurant to ourselves. This was on my birthday, Feb 5 th, 2005.

My last working day at TI. Worked here for 4 years &10 months. If I had stayed another two months, I would have received a gift for completing 5 years! Well, I guess I'll have to live with that thought for the rest of my life. Unless I go back to TI, and then work for five more years....
Anyhow, while we could'nt take the whole office out for lunch, quite a few joined us. My good friend Stephan is the second guy from the right of the pic. The guy standing to his right paid the bill. And we ate at.........the Elephant Walk.(previously called Carambola)

How is my Espanol?

Quite pathetic. Am easily forgetting whatever little I picked up on my last trip to Bogota. I dont have any spanish speaking friends to practice my spanish with in Boston( Tu Hablar Espanol, no puedo espanol, jo hablo poquito espanol..stop it!!), and the little time I get to talk with Luisa, we dont get to practise my spanish atall....So, for now i am still stuck with all these phrases that I memorized on my last two trips to Bogota
Muy Lindo....Jo Queiro hablo con luisa, por favor. Muchas gracias, Senorita. muchas frio...como estas...jo estava esperando tu llamanda....grrr....yeah- growling is allowed in spanish too.

Ok , enough. The one thing I am happy about with Luisa being in Bogota( I hope she never gets to this page) is that I can get real cheap calling cards to Colombia. Rates to Bogota are as low as 0.03 cents/min. And.....Colombia is only one hr behind the US. That is sweet. I instantly empathize with all my Indian friends who have had to nurture LD relationships with their loved ones in India. You come back from a long day at work, and you cannot reallly call India, as it is probably real early out there.
But, I'll empathize only for a minute though..It sucks having your lady love in a diffirent continent, no matter what the diffirence in time zones.
Back to my fav country, Colombia. There is so much negative press given to this country, I think i am going to start a series titled " All things good about Colombia". ( I am up for any suggestions from any one out there who gets to my blog).

Who would have thought, Indian Motorbikes used as a means of transport in exotic islands off the caribbean sea! The man (or woman) behind this idea deserves a Cigar! ...and a fine 18 yr old scotch to go along with that! Muy Bein!!
