Hello All

Just some more photos that I have uploaded. Things are going well and I have a big tournament today. The annual Serco Open, sponsored by my employer. I am playing with a Canadian and two Britts., should be fun. really didn't do too much today, went fishing, took a walk to the beach, made lunch and took a 4 hour nap.

this is really a nocturnal society. Took a taxi into town and went to a couple of clubs and had dinner. Came home and am back at the computer.

As far as the job,; it is going well and hope to be checked out this week. The hardet part for me is to say feet when issuing an altitude. I have never said feet for over 30 years and old habits are hard to break, you see the Russians use meters and that is the reason feet must be used. Go figure!

Last night I was invited to visit the home of one of the pilots I talk to every day. Alan and his wife Shandra are very nice people and he a captain that flies a B757 for RAK Airways. Their villa is walking distance from my apartment and we had a great time.

Living here is very interesting and fun. There is so much to do but you need to be respect the culture. Living here you come in contact with so many different cultures. Chinese, Russian, Arabic, German, British, Itialian, African, Etc. I can count on one hand the number of Americans I have met. Not a bad thing!

Take Care
Mike
