Night Six: Redacted!

So an announcement came over the P.A. saying what day we would get out of quarantine.  Being bored and within a 500 meter distance of my computer, I quickly tossed it up on the blog.  I mean, after a rough day of Rachel Ray, Project Runway, and writing articles for a few different travel mags (maybe one of the best things to have come out of this, besides so much curry tonkastu I now hate the stuff), news of our release was a pretty big deal.

Five minutes later an announcement came on asking us not to put it on our blogs. 

So I’m happy to say there’s an end in sight, and if all works out and we don’t have any sudden surges of A/H1N1 we’ll be mixing and mingling out in the real world soon enough.  I’m sure we’ll have to have a filthy foreigner reunion party at some point in the future when we’re not sick of seeing each other 24/7.

Personally, I’m looking forward to having a shower by myself and not having my temperature taken twice a day.
