Casablanca

Today was the day!

When I was at the Lisbon airport I was scared; and for some moments I thought “what am I doing here? Why do I want to get to know you that much?!”

Ten minutes later those questions were gone and I was excited about visiting you!

So I headed the plain and then I thought again “what am I doing here?!” when I saw the size of the plane!

But then I met Mr. Carlos, who is Portuguese but lives in Morocco for some time now. He kept on telling me how his 5 years in Mozambique were the best in his life and how much he enjoyed it.

Then at the airport of Casablanca I met a Philippine who was 30 years old but looked like 20. He had two kids and had his first kid when he was 19; He separated from his wife, not divorced because the law in The Philippines didn´t allow it (as for what I understood). He kept on saying how much he wanted to go back to his wife, even though they didn´t speak to each other for 4 year now. It was very clear to see in a 1 hour conversation how different the values of some countries are.

Then he left… then he came back and said “I’ve nothing but a Philippine bill to give you so that you will remember me” J

 

To make the end of the day perfect, I just met a girl; one of yours! Actually she is from The Volta Region, the place where I’ll be! She told me how beautiful you are, but she told me also that I need to be careful because there are good and bad people.

I’m closer and closer of getting to know you!
