Day Eight

Monday, and the first day of the workshop, but unfortunately we started the day on a very bad note. At 2:30 a.m. the students were assembled in the passage/balcony in front of their rooms, some screaming, some standing on chairs, and others crying. The cause of the panic was a tiny mouse (which Angela had previously evicted from her room) and an alledged sighting of a huge rat. After much discussion and persuasion, they finally returned to their rooms but few of them actually slept.
The following morning we made a rather late start to the workshop as most of the students were physically and mentally exhausted. Angela made a presentation on Turkish culture and afterwards we showed a promotional tourism DVD on Turkey which gave the Indian students a better insight into our culture.
The students ordered Pizza Hut which they ate with their Indian friends, and we all had an early night.
