Sunset with a friend

This morning I started off by meeting in the Delegate's Lounge about the new project I was working on and drank a medium coffee for the first time since being here.

Bad idea - forgot that coffee and I don't mix...I had a headache all day and I was super sleepy. But the day kept going. We had another meeting after this meeting (how do we ever get work done eh?) and then at lunch, I headed over to the UNDP building (which is actually quite nice, big, and has lots and lots of security).

I went upstairs to go to an interns' meeting where I learned more about the different events and outings that happen all around the city.

The great thing that made me really happy was that I already knew about most of them and I could tell people about a few more.

After that headed back to work and made a new friend from Canada along the way! Good thing too, since she was going to celebrate our National holiday with us.

Sunset

I went home straight after work for the first time in a few weeks now, grabbed some groceries (not that there was much to be honest, the place seemed like it was closing down) and chilled for a bit before heading out again.

I headed over to my friend's place, which was just down the street (literally two blocks from me) and we went up to his rooftop.

I didn't realize it, but we weren't supposed to open the door... Awkward. Silent alarms went off :( :(

But we got to stay there, talk and enjoy music and enjoy the beautiful sunset, which was, of course, everything. It's amazing being on a rooftop that is surrounded by tall skyscrapers and beautiful views.
