I’m playing Virtonomics, an online business game. Here I’ll report every now and then on my proceedings

In my previous post I had some growing pains.

Stable money stream

After nearly going bankrupt, described in my previous posting I worked hard to get a stable situation going on. I might not always be around to micromanage every aspect ( some traveling needs to be done sometimes ) so with my warehouses and factories I wanted to get to a point where they would almost run automatically, me only needed every few other turns to fix the supply stream on one or two points. This can by now be considered almost done

Sometimes people complain about this highly read blog that I don’t post enough photo’s with people on it. Probably true, so for you today some photo’s I stole from the lovely Nois from Quebrada de Condoritos.

For today; some relaxing photo’s I took while relaxing, looking at a relaxed sunset in San Marcos Sierras. A pretty relaxed town if I may say so..

After walking up and down on the cerro Uriturco, the other challenge was to hike the 22 km from Capilla del Monte to San Marcos Sierras. From rainy on one day to a deadly sun the other day. I hiked with an American girl I met in the hostel of Capilla, but we didn’t make it all the way and had to hitchhike the last few kilometers. All in all a great trip trough a great area.

Cuba libre is what you would call a chicklit and as such probably not made for consumption by the other gender. As I was hiking in Capilla del Monte, it was raining and besided the book was one of the two books the hostel had ( in Dutch!) I decided to go against the first warning and read it. And because it’s set in Cuba and I like Cuba.

It’s basically a long stretched story about a girl not willing to confront the death of her sister a long time ago and with a real bunch of mental problems to say the least following a couple to Havana, to study Spanish and live differently.

It has lot’s of mentions to love, relations and babies in it. And about feelings too, long long pages of it. So to the authors credit I enjoyed reading this book. The characters are nice, it’s written pretty good and just an enjoyable fast read. If you can bound me to a book which has more than one reference in it about raising children then you’ve done a good job I’d gather.

Even The Republic sometimes takes time to read. In South-America reading in English involves reading books simply because they are lingering around the hostel or second-hand bookstore, not because The Republic actually wants to read them..
