Friday, 9:10 pm - postscript

By the way, we were ditched by The Boss.

We called at the end of our tour to ask him where we should meet. His secretary informed us that he had already left - called out on an emergency. No message from him.

Which was fine, really. This has been an exhausting day, and we were perfectly happy to come back to the hotel, read through some of our materials gathered during the day, and process everything over dinner at a fantastic Thai restaurant down the street from our hotel. Too bad we won't get the opportunity to talk business we were promised, but I had some doubts about that to begin with. Would have been fun to have him show us around the city some more, but there will be plenty of time for that.
