11 more to go...
by now I've been to most of the ministries at least once and can start to form a picture of the place/ministry here. Our weekly program looks something like this: Monday and Wednesday we run the coffee bar, which is actually a bit of soup kitchen. On Thursdays we have the women's drop-in. Tuesdays and Fridays are a bit slower for me, since these are the days where the others have their counseling clients... so I help a bit in the office, do some practical work or work on the academical tasks that are required for this Field Assignment/outreach/internship.
Over this last weekend we had really nice weather and I got to play tourist for a little while, see some sights... I started out at Trafalgar Square past Westminster and Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, St.James Park, Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square back to Trafalgar Square. On my way back home in a doubel-decker bus we passed MI6 HQ as seen in 007 The world is not enough... where very early on in the movie James Bond comes shooting out of the side of the building in a speedboat a la Q, only to land on the Thamse and get caught up in a exciting chase...
On Sunday I went to HTB (Holy Trinity Brompton, Nicky Gumbel-Alpha, Tim Hughes) which was great and also the first time I really felt at home in this city. Afterwards I went to the Hyde Park/ Kensington Gardens and saw Peter Pan (bronze statue). :-)
Other than that I spent the afternoon wandering about the Park and even after two hours I had only seen a part of the Park! It's huge!
In the evening I watched the Euro2008 Qualifier Germany-Poland! GO Germany!
love, Hanna
