Ministry building

I was told this building houses the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, but the information source was not overly reliable. Regardless, it is one of the most impressive buildings throughout the city

Riding to work this morning

I have been meaning to take some video content for some time highlighting some of the every day experiences we encounter. Here is a video of the ride to my office from our current (temporary) accommodation. It takes about 12 minutes in total, but I have only included the first half as it is more exciting. There are a few things that are odd about this video - such as the lack of horn use by the driver, and some things that are not - such as hitting a girl on a bicycle (at 2:27) and not stopping

Egg or dome?

Looking out of a 6th story window yesterday I saw this building with a white egg shaped dome. I have no idea what it is, so will need to do a reconnaissance mission next time I am in that part of town
