What we are doing Sunday

I should post this on our official IBM site but maybe I'll copy it over after we get photos.
Friday is our last official day but we are all staying on for Sat/Sun to spend the weekend together (except Dan Chan who is racing home to his wife Peggy and their 5 month old daughter Karina). As one of our last hurrahs, Tom is organizing the purchase of as many bicycles as we can fund to give to the children at the orphanage we visited last week. There are 12 children there who walk to school for probably 30-45 min each way. We are hoping to get money from the team for 12 bikes, but given the way kids double up here, we are looking good with the 7 that we have budget for so far.
I signed up for two bike at $1.2M VND each (about $85 USD each) instead of spending a night at the "Furama", a lovely resort on the beach. It seems like a better use of my money. And I'll go do 2-1 drinks on Sunday night with Siobhan at the Furama anyway.
