If you read a lot bring books. I've been here for 6 weeks now and haven't found a decent book store yet (I admit that I spent more time drinking than looking for one), however in the general stores you'll only find "Tourist Books" from Danielle Steel and 27 versions of the Da Vinci Code...

I missed my squash-racket so I had to buy a new one, but I guess you won't need your own basketball along...
There are a lot of courts in some apartment blocks, but haven't heard about a team yet.

P.S.: Most of the gang is at the Karaoke tonight, so you won't get many answers before tomorrow :)
