UNDP Guesthouse – how we live

The UNDP guesthouse can accommodate 14 guests in individual rooms - we share the bathrooms. The guesthouse is equipped with a generator and in-room mini-furnaces. The house comes also with a basement shelter – equipped with radio and with 10-days of supply for full house. This bunker is to be our refuge should the situation gets tense here!!! The guesthouse is a comfortable house and it is our safe haven.

We don’t have to cook or clean: there are two cooks, two maids, one busboy and many guards. The atmosphere is very friendly and dinnertime is the most entertaining moment of the day. Tonight, the Minister of Communications, Masoom Stanekai is coming over for dinner. It should be interesting.
