Waiting for the Typhoon

It's starting to rain and I went out in search of butter, but the 2 nearest stores don't have it, so I gave up. Since I'm locked in the apartment I'll upload a few more pictures from the last week. We played softball against the departing Chevron project and they whooped us. We had a few Brits who were asking what to wear and how to play...I didn't take them too seriously, which was a big mistake. It took me 2 innings to convince one of them in OUTFIELD to WEAR A GLOVE... frustrating. Agbami (the other team) hit straight to him every time and they scored quite a few runs off of that. Others didn't know to touch the base when they were runners or to stand on the base after catching the ball to get an out. Lesson Learned -- cultural differences are not only with the Koreans!! :) But we had a blast playing and I'll get pictures of the game later. Here were the post game pictures when the two teams went out for ribs afterwards.






Rob needed to go out into the fab yard the other day and long sleeves are required. Unfortunately, he didn't have any readily available, so he borrowed Bomi's jacket!!! It was a tight squeeze, but it served it's purpose for a quick visit to the yard. Here's Rob & Bomi while he wears her jacket.
Mitch was also heading out and borrowed on of the other girls' jackets!!!!
Friday night we had dinner with some folks that are here with Transocean building a drill ship. I love this group.... a couple of younger folks and we can't talk about OUR project team when we're with them. Our group has a tendency to continually talk about work after work. With this group, it's a different project, so there's no work talk. It's great!
Sharmaine and I.
Here, Sharmaine is explaining the signs we see for "Box Sets" on the street. Apparently, it's a karaoke room with a girl for about $120 -- for an hour, I believe. But, if you pay more...well, you know....

It's nice to get the real story from a Korean who knows what is going on!

After dinner, the boys played poker. Rob won about $20.


That's all I've got for now. I'll post pictures of the storm later!!! The big part should hit around midnight tonight.
