pakistan?

Big Jim received an offer for a short-term (approximately 6--8 weeks) work contract in Pakistan this morning. Money would be very good, but travel advisories are a bit daunting. But that said, the current travel warnings for Spain and just about anywhere are also on the scary side. The job would be working for Nokia, so one would hope they would be careful about security measures, etc. And Big Jim has worked in interesting environments before, like Zagreb, where his driver kept a loaded gun on the passenger seat at all times. Much to think about..... Had very nice dinner with M.A. last night....steak, sweet potato puffs, creamed spinach, Waldorf salad, and a caramelly pudding for dessert. Lovely evening all around. Still rainy here, but no power cuts today (so far). Hopefully weather will clear for next week, as our friend T. is coming for a short visit. Will keep everyone posted on this latest job development...Big Jim has requested more details, so we are just waiting for the agent's response and will have to do some serious thinking in the next couple of days. hasta pronto, mylifeinspain
