  We missed the deadline by over 25 minutes today for various reasons. Usually the printer leaves the building at 11pm sharp (which might just be the only time any mongolian does anything on time! ) if he hasn't received the paper. But not this week. He even smiled and said good evening when we finally managed to bring down the material for him to print. Reason? Last week, when we were celebrating my birthday, we invited him up to the office for a couple of drinks. That's the way things work here, but I can't wonder how long this goodwill will last? Hopefully it's someone else's birthday soon!
