Roleplay, porters and twilight

Today i woke up still happy about having won about 700 rupies last night at a casino. A nice way to start the day. Then we had to presentate the facts about human rights that we had found the day before. I will not tell a lot about it, but let me just say that it did not take very long to hear the presentations...
Then we had to talk about communication and conflicts. We started the class watching a movie about how some people communicate through acting. And then - surprise surprise - we had to make a roleplay ourselves.

After lunch we went to an organisation which fights for the porters rigths. Once again the nepalease time showed, because the man who had to tell us about the organisation did not show up, so an other man had to improvise. After some talk about the organisation we went to a school where only the children of porters go. An example of the poverty showed up, when a 14-year old girl had her baby brother with her in school. He cried, so it distracted both her and the other students. But on the positive side she at least went to school. Later we met a porter on the street, where we had to presentate ourselves. When Camilla told her name to the porter and the man from the organisation, they began to laugh - it turns out that Camilla means ant in Nepali.

When you come to a new country some people cannot 'go to the toilet'. This is a problem for some of the girls, and that is why Camilla shared her knowledge about zone therapy. So we wish that the system begins to work now.

We ended the day by doing something we are very good at; enjoy each others company and watch a movie. A bit funny that the new Twilight movie is to buy in the stores in Nepal, and it has just had premiere in the cinema in Denmark. The quality of the movie was not the best I have even seen, but they used a good effect, were you felt like you were in the cinema - sometimes you could hear a man cough, people eat candy and see a head in the screen. A very nice effect they offen use in Nepal, or...
It was nice to go to bed with Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattison in our minds :)
