Before going to the City, at 8:00 Shirley tried to make call home in Philippines but can not get through.

Bought an EPSON dox metric printer.

We rush back from city to factory because Ole is coming from Asuncion. I sited at the wooden arm chair in front of the office and waited for hours

He did not turn up. Such attitude, and some others, is the reasons that his partnership with our Taiwanese Company could not last.

Evening at 6:00 señor Quintana helps to get the telephone through and Shirley called long distance home to Philippines. This is her first call home after reaching Paraguay. She was happy talking at length with her mother and a sister at the opposite side of the globe.

Several months later the management reminded me not to make such lengthy call again. Thought I never get to see the amount in the telephone bill, it is understood that a call to the opposite side of the earth is always costly.
