Sunday afternoon

Tennis

Friday morning: debriefing at the Dutch MSF Headquarters.
Afterwards lunch with a Canadian midwife, with whom I had been together in Mweso. After nine months Mweso she was now getting ready for her Grand Europe Tour. We ordered shrimp croquettes at a small cafeteria opposite of the Amsterdam Zoo. The shrimp croquettes couldn’t convince me, but perhaps my taste buds were still waiting for more Congolese food.
Anyhow, there’s one beautiful thing for expats in Congo: they can leave. (Some stay but they are the exception and they do play tennis on Sunday afternoon.)
