Cup of tea and a muffin!

I'm hoping that by the title of this entry you may be able to guess where I finally got to today. Any guesses? Well I finally got to the British embassy, and was offered the title of this entry! In fact today was my day of meeting Brits! It was interesting to really get into what life behind the barbed wire walls was all about, and I had a great conversation there. I usually only plan for about 30-45 minutes for each conversation, I am very aware that these people are working very hard, and have taken time out of their day to meet with me,so I try not to stay too long, but sometimes they have a lot to say, or they just enjoy talking to someone who isn't a work colleague, and the conversation can go on longer. I also got to have a bit of a walk today - Chicken Street is known for selling lots of tourists type things, carpets, trinkets, jewellery, scarves, all the kind of thing that tourists want, and so I had a wander round and checked out some of the different shops and what they sold, it was very liberating...apart from all the stares and numerous taxi drivers wanting my fare. My time is very quickly coming to a close, and I can't believe how quickly the time has gone by. I will miss this place, but I will also enjoy being home and being able to walk around easily! It's the little things in life that you notice when they are gone!
