immigration

Today we had to go to a bigger town to get our immigration finalized. I was so impressed how smooth everything went. There were 4 of us who needed to get all their papers in order and we were in and out of the immigration office in under 20 minutes.

We used the opportunity to get some shopping done there. At the mall Alia decided to completely soil herself from head to toe, so we had to go and buy her something new as I had forgotten her change of clothes. I thought "wenn schon, denn schon" (sorry, that one is untranslatable) and we got her a nice "Batik" dress that is very customary to this area.

She still sticks out and turns a lot of heads because of her white skin. Thankfully she does not mind all the attention, check squeezing and leg rubbing
