Holey, brick walls, Batman!

I got my mobile today, which means reporting in to security every time I leave the house.  I have a bunch of meetings lined up for next week, and have now arranged a driver so that I can get around.  This makes life much easier here.   I spent today visiting the office of an NGO, it was very interesting, they work with deaf and blind people, and employ some of those people to work in their office.  Everyone was very friendly and welcoming.  On the way home we passed a chipped wall, I asked about it.  Turns out the chips were bullet holes, and there are quite a few walls around town like that.  Some are from back in the day when the Russians were in town, some are more recent.  It certainly makes for interesting conversation that is for sure.
