    Away from tomorrow (Monday) until Wednesday. Won't be in town and probably won't log on at all.

    Hi, guys... A quick word to let you know I'm not dead (yet... ) but I've moved to Haïti (yes, Haïti... not Tahiti !) so preparing and settling in has occupied a lot of my time and kept me away both from my comp and a fortiori from the .Org.

    I'm sorry for those I let down in quitting so suddenly but everything was very hectic from the start and things are just starting to get more quiet.

    I see the community still seems to be striving under the auspices of Phonics and Zim and I hope I'll be able to join you all back when I go back to civilization...

    In the meantime, expect to see me passing through just to get a feeling of a place...

    See you

    Hello Tristan, nice to see you're alright. You have a reputation as a beastly player over here, you should come back and let some of us youngbloods test your mettle!

    Hey all,

    Things in Haiti are just what you might imagine them to be... A country that thrives on foreign aid because it lacks in almost anything in matter of decent living conditions (there are still a lot of refugee camps... And I really mean a lot). Reconstruction is still at a standstill. Most people's lives here are lived in squalor but most manage to get by on the few they gain every day.

    Some manage to live a western kind of life (and us lucky UN personnel among them).

    But I try to focus on the good side of things : we get sun (and lots of it) every day and Haitian people are rather cool when you get to know them. Plus working in this international environment is a big plus.

    That's about it.

    @Myth : I hope to be able to come back and give some of you young ones the spanking they deserve

    Cheers
