It was the two Danish girls’ last day at placement today. They were very sad to leave but they told me that they are planning on coming back within a year for a year. I don’t know if I would do that but I totally understand why one would want to.
The children were very cheerful and in a good mood. One of the older one even attempted to show me some African dancing moves. All my children have so much rhythm, even the little ones. I might take African dancing lesson when I go back to London.
Something that strikes me whilst working with the kids is what they eat. I have never seen 3 years old eating fresh fish (not fish fingers) back home or cutlets of lamb with the bone on. They also drink very hot tea (too hot even for me to drink). It makes me wonder if we don’t over protect our children in the western world.
After placement, a few volunteers and I went to the waterfront. We went shopping first and then had dinner on a

terrace. It was lovely. There was a live rock band call Aking. I think they are quite famous here because a lot of people seemed to know the words to their songs. I liked them.
It is so funny to go from placement in the morning to something like that in the evening. It is like two completely different world altogether. A very interesting city…
Well, it is goodnight from me for tonight.
