“Ici, les papas ne mangent pas le soir, seulement les enfants.”
Here daddys don’t eat in the evening, only children do.
“Ici, il y a toujous la fete. Meme pendant la guerre il y avait toujours la fete. C’etait des fetes ici et dans les montagnes il avait des bombes partout.”
Here there are always parties. Even during the war, there were always parties. Here (Buja) it was parties everywhere while in the mountains it was all bombs.
Quant tu tourne tu regarde d’abord, si la voiture est neuve, tu vas,puisque il va s’arreter. Mais si c'est un taxi, ou un bus tu attend parce que il ne s’arrete pas.
When you make a turn you see first, if the car is new you go ahead because it will stop, but if it is a taxi or especially a bus you wait because it doesnt stop.
