Saturday 14 February 2009. How many people fit in a Suzuki Matari 800?
Saturday, 14th of February. How many people fit in a Suzuki Matari 800?
07:00 alarm
08:00 breakfast.
No school today, so on our way to the home.
With a few children walking to the land where the new house is in progress.
It was quite a long walk, all the way towards the landing zone of the Para gliders.
After about 45 minutes we finally arrived at the house.
The building is huge: they plan 3 bedrooms for the girls on the first floor.
3 bedrooms for the boys on the ground floor.
A big kitchen with a window through which they can pass on the Dahl Bath to the children in the big dining room. The kitchen and the dining room will have a lot of light, surrounded by many windows.
A TV. room, a big study room, a private room for Thak and Gongka, the office.
Gongka told us that they are expecting that the house will be ready in another 1 ½ year!
On the same piece of land Gongka’s brother already build a house. We were invited in this house, where Gongka’s sister in law straight away was busy with making tea for us and the children.
The children could watch a bit of TV. knowing their way in this house AND very familiar with ‘Auntie’ (sister in law).
Gongka’s brother has planted a lot of vegetables, potatoes and rice.
I think it is a good thing that he is living on the same land, I remember seeing him a lot of times in the house, fixing electricity problems and many other things. He will be of great help for this big family of 23!
Plus the land is already cultivated and they are growing their own veggies and potatoes there!
Thank had sent a taxi to collect Gongka, me and the younger ones.
But once the taxi was there everybody wanted to go home with taxi, no walking!
So we ended up with: Rita2 and Gongka in the back covered by 6 children!
I was sitting in the front with two little ones on top of me, trying to keep the space for the driver and his gearbox.
Bishal ended up with the best place: in the hood.
So, we made a new record: 13 people in a Suzuki Matari 800!!!
A shame we were not able to make a picture of this ‘package’ in the car, but the kids were sitting on my camera!!
A big laughter at the home from the other ones when they saw us coming out of this little car, one after the other!!
We stayed with the children, today was no school. Around 16:00, when the teacher arrived (on his day off!!) we went all together to the park to play football, badminton and with the frisbees.
Around 18:00 the sun went down and it was getting chilly, so time to march the happy, tired children home.
Diner again at teatime, the usual night-cap and again at a decent time to sleep. It is tiring so many children and so much fresh air!!
