Reunion with my friends

So today was nice. I went to wifi place and I also got a local simcard for calling and Internet.  But as it turns out, the company I bought the sim from does not have signal here where I stay. After this we went to amarasiri his place. Going from the place where I stay to amarasiri his place takes about 1 hour and 3 different busses. So I was thinking that it might be better if I try to find a cheap hotel somewhere near. I am not staying with amarasiri cause he says it is not suitable for me (in other words; the white chick can't handle our living conditions) which might be true but I would have taken the challenge and tried it. (They don't have a shower or toilet. Toilet is hole in the floor and shower is a hose in the backyard). I will look for some place to stay tomorrow. At amarasiri 's place I helped him to answer some emails he got from people that are interested in his project. After that I had a very good lunch. Then I went on my own to the safari, the place where I was last time and spend 7 weeks with these people. Everybody remembered me and came to me. I didn't know who to greet first. I loved seeing Disa, Upul, Upali's  whole family (upali is the owner), sunil, lakmal, kuma, karuna. Still some people to see though because two mahouts work at a different place now and kalu and sanjeeva  were at home. Disa and Upul invited me to their home already and I will go to disa tomorrow. Last time I went to Upuls wedding and now he has 1 year old daughter! All the kids in Upali's family were so big! And lakmal (one of the mahouts) is still so cute! I just love how he smiles at you. I do have a tiny crush on him haha. So nice to see everybody again.

I was actually really worried about going there because there was about 10 kilos less of me when I went last time and they kept telling me how fat I was, I felt awful. I was so worried what they would think of me now. And what I was afraid of did happen, everybody made a comment about how I was 'bigger now'. But somehow I didn't mind it. I guess I understand now that it is different when they tell you this here. In Holland it is seen as an insult but here it is a sign of being healthy  (which is weird because it is not xD). And the most awful question is when they ask you 'how come you fatter now'. Yeah... well because I eat too much?

Amarasiri came to pick me up and we went back to the place where I stayed. It was only 17 o clock and I was already dreading being alone for so long. But at around 18:30 I went down to cuddle one of the cats and the daughter invited me inside. I watched some television with one of the grandsons (5 years) and then I had dinner also downstairs and I just sat there with all of them while the grandson of 5 years did his homework and his little brother tried to hit him with a stick (more like a tree branch).

My night was unfortunately not as good as the first night. The dog of the neighbours woke me up 3 times with his barking. It is 7 am here now. Amarasiri is picking me up in 2 hours to go to the disabled home. I am excited to go back there but at the same time it is going to be hard to see theit living conditions.
