Things, here, are moving along nicely......well as nicely as one can expect in Mogadishu. We've got a labor contractor supplying a 13-man crew and our daily payroll is 4,940,000 Somali Shillings. The contractor pays 'em off in 1,000 shilling notes. Impressed? Don't be, because the exchange rate is 38,000 Shillings to one US dollar. I haven't had an opportunity to take a picture, yet, but I never would have expected to be able to stuff 13 men in the back of a little Toyota pickup. To these guys, it's just the way things are done.
