Oh, and in Africa this... and in Africa that...!!!

Yes Courtney was really here - for one whole week! Yey! It was wonderful to have her over and listen to all the stories from the four months of backpacking through Africa. Did you know that in Africa it is completely normal to strike up a conversation with a complete stranger, and as you are trying to wake up in the morning going for a stroll up the street a total strange can come up to you and ask how you've slept?!... well this happens in Africa. :)))

We spent some good times together drinking around Friedrichsein and smoking shisha. While talking about our favourite books I noted some down and on Tuesday ordered five off Amazon. And we, the girls, did some shopping during the day - we actually did quite a bit of that now that I think about it. And then all good things end and other good things begin, so Courtney left this Monday to go to beautiful Prague. If someone asks - "So Polina, are you now inspired enough to go to Africa?" my answer would be a very definite "Yes."




This is Courtney and I slaving away in the kitchen preparing dinner last Saturday night.






And this is Chie (my japanese friend from my german course), Courtney and I... and shisha.
