  After another night of happy partiying, the day was again spent in big part at the pool... However, I managed to go to a Workshop in the late afternoon, held by a Darfurian refugee. The workshop showed me real new aspects of the conflict and was therefor really interesting. The most amazing part in my opinion, was the fact, that the darfurian refugee was a muslim, and mentioned many times, that this conflict was not about religion. Imagine a muslim refugee speaking before a young jewish crowd, while always underlining the fact, that we were one of the only one who would listen....
The evening was then followed by the orinetal night. The funny part about that, ist that apparently, the word „oriental“ has different meanings, depending from where you come from: From a japanese kimonos to arabic tunics, every kind of „oriental“ was represented. Good night again, my next day will start at 5 o’clock in the morning...
