I volunteered to help out with World Health Day on Monday, so we had some brief training about it on Friday afternoon. Other than that, Friday at work was a typical day of trying to keep writing this paper.
Dinner was in the old town at a place called demi-lune cafe. The restaurant didn't open until 6:30 pm, so I convinced a bunch of interns to walk down from WHO to dinner. It was about an hour walk, but it was a nice evening and it saved me buying a bus pass.

After dinner, we went to a nearby bar in for drinks on an outdoor patio. It was really nice to spend an evening in the old town, because it's so different that anywhere back home.

Later in the evening, we headed over to the student-bar street, for more affordable beverages. The bars were so crowded, we ended up mostly standing out on the sidewalk chatting. It was one of those evenings that went by so quickly that I was surprised when they were closing the bar at 2:00 am. I am going to miss the new friends that I have made here, and how easy it is to meet new people when everyone is in the same situation of being in a new city and not knowing anyone.
