Bye Bye BBQ.
Ingrid and Benoit will be returning to Belgium next month. To say good bye to their friends they organized a BBQ today. I arrived shortly after noon and discovered what a BBQ of expats looks like. First of all, they had rented a place within their compound with a nice room, garden and lake. They bought the meat and had the “chef” provided with the room do the BBQ. Then waitresses dresses in Scottish pattern skirt, white shirt and knee height socks (basically like a school uniform although they result looked more like they were coming from a porn movie, according to the guys) would bring the meat to the buffet table. They had ordered salads from Element Fresh, people brought fruits and drinks. It was really nice. Good food, good company, fantastic weather (and zillions of kids running around)… what a great BBQ!
With such an easy life as an expat, we wondered why they go home. Let’s face it, next BBQ they will have to do everything themselves, assuming we get a decent weather for a BBQ :)
PS: of course their ayi (maid) was there keeping an eye on the children, and will bring everything back home afterwards, and do the dishes, etc.
PS2: outdoor + lake = mosquitoes… it was feast for them as well. I counted at least 5 different bites, and a few hours later, I struggle to find my leg under the red swollen bites…
