New Assignment

Today, I received an email from the coordinator at the SALRC informing me that, in addition to working on the Hindu marriages project, I will also be working on the project relating to adult prostitution. I also received the various policy and methodology documents so I can be prepared on day 1 to start working on these projects. I'm excited for the opportunity to work on two projects and delve even further into a foreign legal system than I would have already.

I also heard about the dress code for the commission. Monday through Thursday men dress "smart casual." This means suit, but no tie. And on Fridays I can wear jeans and a t-shirt. The only time I will have to wear a tie is if I'm going to a meeting or a conference. That's my kind of dress code! (Anyone who has had to wear a tie can tell you they aren't the most comfortable things in the world. And while ties do look nice, I don't know anyone that would choose to wear one if they did not need to.)

I'm still working on a place to live and waiting for my passport to arrive.
