Update from Experiment Germany group in Clonmel

Experiment Germany group from Berlin: Experiment Germany group from BerlinAfter that, we walked to the Kebab house for lunch. The Kebab house is owned by someone from Baghdad and he spoke to Ali in Arabic. Shay paid for the lunch to say thank you for the work we had done the last days. The food was very good, but expensive. Later Joe arrived and joined us for lunch. Joe is our second boss in the forest.

After lunch we took a walk. Shay allowed us to have a look around his house for a couple of minutes. From Shays house we went on to the girls school, where my hostsister goes to. At first we met the German teacher and later her students arrived and we started asking them questions in English and they had to answer in German. I enjoyed it very much and the girls were very friendly and nice to us. After the school visit we all went back to the city centre for shopping.

After the shoopping tour, we came back home for a lovely dinner prepared by our lovely hostmother.

We also had lunch together with them. After we ate our lunch and we played card games together. It was great fun and a great moment with the girls. From the girls school we went back to the forest to continue our work. While we were working something happend to Ali and he was rushed quickly to the doctor for a check-up. We continue to work and hailstones started to fall. Our boss shay decided we should finish earlier. He brought us into a restaurant in the town. There we ate chocolate cakes with hot chocolate.  Annemarie, Ali and Andy, where still at the doctor so they could’nt join us. We decided to check on Ali at the doctor, but unfurtunately he was already gone to the house. We went to the house to see Ali. He was still sleeping when we came. 5 minutes later, wake up and he was feeling better. All of  where very proud of  how Annemarie looked after Ali when he was ill, she did a great job and i am very proud of  her. This was a very inventfull day and we had a very delicious meal at the end.
