So I went to the Holiday Inn to meet Rada and her mother for dinner. The meal was good...for 30 cedis!! (approx $20) I couldn't believe how much it cost. But it was the only place to eat, well there was but we didn't see that until after the meal! Oh well! I enjoyed a good gourmet meal, even if it was expensive. :) I had a good time talking with Rada and her mom, Lucia. I tried to have a conversation with Lucia in French since that is our only common language. She doesn't speak English and I don't speak Romanian. Appearently she asked me at one point if the people I am staying with were the ones who meet me at the airport. I said I live twenty minutes away from the Holiday Inn. Oh communication barriers! After dinner I took a taxi home. Unfortunately I spent all the money I brought on dinner. All I had to give the taxi driver was a $5 bill. Oh well he still took the money, although that means I over paid. I guess that's what I get for spending too much on dinner!
I am starting to experience how the men are here. I think every tax ride I have been on I have been hit on. Although being hit on here is different, they usually start by asking about marriage! The man who took me to the National Cultural Centre explained to me how he wanted an American wife and asked me if I had a boyfriend, I lyed and said that I did, just to avoid the awkward convo. He also looked like he could be my dad.
