Episode 0052 - Cultural Shock: Gina, Andrew, Leila, Mother, Wendy, ~ 05 ``Leila: Hi mum, we thought we would give you time to get up! ``Mother: You’re amazing and you’re back so soon. ``Leila: We took the opportunity, as they were coming our way. ``Mother: Your suntan makes me look white. Let me go and put the kettle on --- ``Wendy: I have found last weeks local paper and I have hidden it. ``Mother: Here you are Girls, and here’s some fruit cake. So where have you been this time? ``Leila: In the same vicinity, but we were near the local landing strip. ``Wendy: The plane usually comes in once a week, but this one had some spare seats. ``Leila: Anything much been happening? ``Mother: Only in the news that they are still trying to start WW III. ``Leila: Andrew okay? ``Mother: Yea, I’ll give him a ring! --- ``Andrew: Hi Mum, everything okay? ``Mother: Yes son, the girls are back. ``Andrew: That’s good, are they staying this time? ``Mother: Hang on, are you staying? ``Wendy: Mother, they need us out there, and there is another plane leaving on Tuesday. ``Mother: Did you hear that son? ``Andrew: Yes, oh well, they have to do something, I suppose. ``Mother: Are you coming for dinner tomorrow? ``Andrew: I believe we are, but it is up to Betty. ``Mother: Okay, bye son. Why is he getting so grumpy and why is everyone so busy these days? {Safe House ~ 3} ``Wendy: Everything okay? ``Gina: Zaa. I have been busy writing up notes. ``Leila: How is your health? ``Gina: My bi-monthly is on and I still feel a little sick from the trip, and the pressure is giving me a headache. ``Wendy: We are not surprised, but if that is all the problems you have, then I am pleased. ``Leila: Life can be boring, whichever world you live in, so we all have to keep ourselves busy. However, we are reading up the local papers, to see if there is anymore news specifically on UFO’s. ``Gina: There are many sudden noises, which are like your thunder! ``Leila: That is typical of our noisy local traffic. ``Wendy: It has started to rain again, and it will probably rain all day tomorrow. I think our rains are similar, but I suggest that you try it out and get a little bit wet, as our water supply seems to be okay with you! ``Gina: It has a smell to it! ``Leila: That is probably the chlorine in the water, which they add. You will have to keep an eye on it on your skin, as it may go slightly dry. We use filtered water anyway for our drinks. ``Wendy: We will be watching the Proms shortly, live from our fabulous Albert Hall. It is the best of all the classical music and it is free to listen to, and goes all around our world. On the last night of the proms, which is next month, everyone joins in the atmosphere, and they all have a sing song at the end. It is the equivalent to your Hall of Variety. There are 7 million people around our world who tune in. This year it is the 101st Prom and for the first time conducted by a woman or Cat, Marin Alsop from the USA. ``Leila: Afterwards, we will take you for a drive in the dark, so you can see some of our local countryside. ``Gina: That will be nice, as I still have a headache. ``Wendy: Do you need sleep? ``Gina: I do not think so. I did enjoy the show very much, and I do like the atmosphere it produces, so I will suggest it to the Elders. ``Leila: There is a lot of rubbish and noisy music out there that people appear to like, but these are musicians who spend years developing their skills. ``Gina: I can see that. Our musicians have different style of instruments, but I must admit yours sound a lot better. Are we going for this drive? {In Car - Driving ~ 3] ``Wendy: Sure. ``Leila: Let’s go --- We will take you around the villages and coffee shops where there is night life --- Gina: There so many people around, how do they all get on together? ``Leila: They don’t! ``Gina: There are whites, greys, browns and blacks. --- ``Wendy: But no greens! --- ``Gina: Ha, ha. ``Leila: Are you okay to continue? ``Gina: Zaa. ``Wendy: These are all small towns or enlarged villages. < Previous Page 51 Aug <01.4.5> Summer [00 = 057 <069> 02 = 013] Next Page 53> |
