Day 2

My morning was started earlier than planned, my bed is in the sleeping quarters near what's called Old Canada House, basically were Canadians hang out and watch tv and chill. Someone had left the tv on in there, fairly loud too. At 4 am I was woken up by Pierre McGuire ranting about the sens...not the best way to wake up. Someone else must of heard it and went and turned it off because it only lasted about 15 minutes. I managed to go back to sleep.

Woke up, this morning we had a meeting with our fixer. A fixer is a local who takes care of things that we need; in this case Noorkhan gets us intel from the town, shots some material and acts as a liaison for us to the afghan community. We had a good 30 min meeting with. Then it was off to the mess, since we got up late we missed breakfast and we didn't want to miss lunch.

The rest of the day was strategizing on stories, getting the office totally set-up and trying to figure out what was going on with our gear. Our public affairs people have been in and out briefing us on stuff.

Overall a pretty straight forward day.
