Today I was sent to the White House to cover Ban Ki Moon's visit with President Bush. I attended the White House press briefing, which was quite interesting. Ban Ki Moon (the head of the UN) was suppose to arrive at 1:00. So I waited outside the with cameramen from other news agencies to cover his arrival. I was going to bring my copy of the Koran to keep me entertained while I waited, but decided that it would not be the best reading material for the White House.

After a hot and sweaty hour and a half of waiting, we found out that he had snuck in the side door, met with Bush and left. I had to wait until 5:00 to record the footage from the AP feed. It took until 9:30 pm to edit and upload the story to SABC.
