Like the old days

While the rain is flowing down the streets and makes noise on my roof I’m sitting inside on the floor thinking about these last days that past. My friend from Norway brought a visit. We did the first 4 units of language school together and where neighbours during her time here. Pretty good friends as I may say. It was such a good time we had together, like the old days. Catching up with each other and with other friends from Indonesia, America, Australia & Korea.

Yesterday we went with our Indonesian friends to a waterpark. It was a day of endless chatting in Indonesian,  making Indonesian jokes, swimming outside in warm water which was actually nice, having lots of fun, laughing until our bellies hurt, screaming when we went down from the super high slides and more laughing when we ended upside down in the water. It was a good day of creating sweet memories. We close the day with dinner at our friends, a gathering of the language students who are still here. It was an interesting evening, with people from all different places of the world gathered together: Norway, the Netherlands, America and Korea and all talking in Indonesian since that is the one and only language we all could understand. We had Korean food, very interesting. My friend from Norway dared to try some cabbage-ish, lettuce-ish dish, that smelled like it was fermented. I thought she was very brave doing so. Our Korean friend warned her that it was very spicy, as she tries,  she says that it’s to spicy, to eat. So I say: “let me try”, so I take a bite. And while this very interesting taste penetrates my mouth I know it wasn’t cause of the spiciness that she didn’t take another bite. So I repeat after her: “Yeah, very spicy”. And I thankfully take the offer of my Korean friend to put the leftovers on my plate aside ;) haha how smart…I have to remember this excuse ;) I’m smiling if I think back at that moment. I will miss her when she will be gone tomorrow. For now it’s time to go to sleep. Tomorrow there will be a new day, full of new changes and new adventures. Mimpi indah sweet dreams
