GM's vehicle and reserved parking....hmmmm! 
March 2nd
This is day 2 of working with the FINCOOP. We met with Andrew (Internal Auditor) and Moses (IT) to go over some of their duties and areas of operations, and fielded questions they had about how things are done in Canadian CU’s. We went for lunch at the Summer Park restaurant which is close to the FINCOOP. This is the place that we went to last year on the 1st day for lunch and it took over 2 hours to get our meals. Against our better judgement we decided to try them out again, and this time the experience was much better. In the afternoon we were supposed to meet with the Branch Manager, but he got called out to another branch on some type of emergency. Brad started on our report to the Board, and I, well, lets just say I didn’t get much done this afternoon. Wyatt is supposed to be arriving in Lilongwe at 2 pm, and we are getting together for supper tonight. We knocked off at about 3:30 and headed back to the hotel. We decided to avoid the gauntlet of people selling peanuts, newspapers, clothes, shoes, etc., along with a number of beggars, and took an alternate route back to the hotel. Wyatt had left a message that he had arrived at his hotel, and I went about trying to call him. After several attempts I finally got through to his cell phone, and he caught a cab over to our hotel. We visited for a bit then headed out for supper to a Thai food place called “The Hut”, which is only short walk away. After supper we went back to the Sunbird and visited for awhile and then Wyatt had to leave as he was heading out to the mine at Karonga (7 hr drive) in the Northern region, where Brad and I had worked last year. The vehicle pictured above is the GM's and the writing on the wall is "Reserved for GM". Hmmmm food for thought...
