We're to scared to ask him so we left and went to get a tuk tuk. Weirdly there were none outside ( there's always tuk Tuks everywhere) so we went back up stairs to ask if they could call us one. They said to wait 20 minutes so went and sat down at the bar. What do you know the Maori looking guy came over and started talking to us and we went to join them play pool. Turns out he's a phillipino who lives in Melbourne hence why he had the kiwi fashion style. He was with another guy and funnily this guy from Melbourne was the uncle of the other guy. But he was 22 and his nephew was 21. It was interesting! They just looked like two mates travelling together. We played pool with them for a while and found out there travelling Sri Lanka and India for 2 months together. We gave them tips on good places to go etc and then at 9:30 we thought we better leave cause we have a 10pm curfew. We got back and we're too scared to talk to Damikke and couldn't get hold of Eric and the group from the beach so we don't know what's happening with our weekend plans now considering we leave tomorrow night.

Same same but different
In the morning I went to babies along with a bunch of other girls. On the bus ride into town my jandal broke so I walked around the city with one shoe on. It was gross. The babies were extra cute today but there were way too many volunteers. Some ended up going to the toddlers so there went as many people. The same baby I always look after, when I got there I went to pick her up and there was pee all over her bed and her nappy was full with it coming out the sideS. It's sad that she probebely slept like this and they still hadnt changed her 9:00am the next day. While we were all giving the babies there bottles the nurse brought through a brand new baby which was sooo tiny!!! The girl had had the baby out of wedlock so she didn't tell anyone because she knew we family wouldn't help to support the baby. She brought it here to the orphanage and hopefully one day when the baby is a bit older she can take her back. After the babies were in there cots asleep the co ordinator took us to the "pre school" area which is a little room out by the garden. In there were maybe 5-6 sitting doing nothing. The lady asked us to "teach" but the kids spoke no English and were too young learn any so we sat there not being able to do anything. I thankfully was heading to day care so I left with in half and hour and walked to the bus stop. The little shack next to the bus stop always has tools in so I thought I would go ask if they have any super glue for my jandal. I got there and showed them my broken jandal and they said yes yes and sat me down and went into his little tool shed. They heated up wire and wound it round and some how fixed my shoe. I asked then if I could give me money and they just shook there heads. It was so different to see because everyone here ask for money for the slightest gesture. I went to give them 100rupees which is $1.00 and they there head so I just left it on the table. I took te bus back to kandy and got there nearly an hour before I was surposed to be there because it was raining so hard I didn't wanna walk around at the markets to kill time like usual. I got to day care and all the kids were having lunch. Some one had brought tennis bawls so I taught one of the little boys how to play hand ball. Once he got it he loved it and he wouldn't let us stop. We played for an hour and the little girls sat with me while we played. A bit later bronwyn came and brought with her skipping ropes and some balls with a hoop. The girls took all the ropes but had no idea how to skip. I tied to of them together and tried to get a big rope going with the kids jumping in. Everyone was too shy so the girls ended up just teaching themselves how to skip. We played more hand ball with the boys and then near the end of the afternoon we thought we'd try play duck duck goose with them. The kids picked it up really quickly so that entertained them for ages. At 3 we left and I said good bye to all of them because I wasn't going to see them again because I'm off to tribal week next week. It was sad:( but hard because they didn't no I wasn't coming back. I took the bus home and quickly got showered and freshened up from the baby vommit and dirty clothes and then me and Taylor took a tuk tuk into the city to go to natural coffee to get some wifi to try and organize our trip. We got there and some of the volunteers had just Arrived so we all went up stairs together and had coffees. I tried to call the people from the beach to find out there plans but we couldn't get through. At 6:00pm we got kicked out but decided to go to slightly chilled the bar because we were craving some western food. The owned by a German man and his Chinese wifi so the resteraunt is mostly Chinese food. We took a tuk tuk there and almost all he volunteers were there when we arrived. The bar was amazing! It felt like resteraunt in Fiji with the big wooden ceilings. The view was amazing as well we had a view out to kandy with the big sitting budda in the distance. Most of the group had already eaten so me and Taylor ordered together. I still feel sick from the other day but I thought some nice Chinese food would be good instead of curry and rice. I ordered the chicken fried noodles because the girls had already ordered it and it tasted yum. I decided not to drink and get a ginger beer instead to settle my stomach. Our meals came out and the noodles tasted amazing! I had 2 mouthfuls on food and then felt sick. I guttered I couldn't eat it. We sat outside with everyone and chatted. This was my first time in 2 weeks that I have seen tourists other than the volunteers from my group. The place was packed of volunteers all young. Whenever we go out we are surposed to let damikee no so that the cooks don't have to prepare as much food. No one new that everyone was going so no one texted him. At 7:00pm we realised and texted him but we knew it was too late because dinner always arrives at 7:00pm. Damikke was not happy at all so everyone finished there drinks that thought we should get home. On our way out the door spotted a guy who looked a Maori and got way too excited because I haven't seen a kiwi since I've been here. Me and Taylor
