hello,
unfortunately the situation here has changed in the past week or so, as im sure you may have seen on the news, and i may be here a bit longer than expected.
so, i'm not sure if i will be able to get my cold war project finished in time. maybe due to circumstances i could get a bit of an extension?

one nice thing is that there are no tourists here. must all be afraid of something! good business for journalists though...
