Last few days

I haven't written much lately as my past week has been full of last minute meetings, shopping for gifts (last night I had a nightmare that I forgot to bring a bottle of wine for a friend), and running around Imedi TV station to get a tape of their show about sex workers in Tbilisi. Oh, I also spent several hours at Georgia Times, a local English language newspaper, digging through old editions to find an article on hourly wages for women who work in shops and stores. Never found it but they seemed really nice. Even invited me to come back to share my views of their upcoming article on sex workers. A reported I spoke to told me that she was embarassed to stand on the street while interviewing sex workers for the article out of fear that someone may recognize her and think that she is a sex worker herself.

Anyways, I am heading off to a friend's summer house in the hills for the weekend so I will have so much more and I am sure some sort of a tearful good bye to Georgia as well. For those who are still wondering when the hell I'll be back, note Tuesday, 4pm as my touchdown at JFK. Hopefully everything will go well and KLM won't be pulling any more stunts. Although an upgrade would not cause any objections from my side.
