Hi Niko,

It's getting scary over here. The financial markets are in meltdown, the government is pulling off the biggest scam in history and selling it as a bail-out, our choices for President are between Bad and Disastrous, and I can't sleep.

Hope you're doing okay.

I'm okay...although my contract ending in nine months has taken on a strange and new significance.

Ditto to what your dad says. It's been over a fricking month. Post something before we start bugging the embassy to send someone out to check on you.
