Kurset / The course

Kurset, jeg er i Burma for, er i fuld gang. Denne gang er det ikke "bare" et kursus, men også et symposium, hvor alle Burma's børnelæger har været med de første 2 dage.
Det betød så også, at vi fik fine kongrestasker! Jeg gad godt vide, hvem der skulle have den blå.......

The course, I went to Burma to attend, has started. This time it is not "just" a course, but also a symposium with all the Burmese pediatricians for the first 2 days.
It also meant that we got pretty congress-bags! I wonder who got the blue one......

Forrest i lokalet var der sofaer til professorerne. Der var forskel på folk! Vi andre sad nu også meget godt. Jeg strikker jo, og det går fint med det.
Altså, bortset fra i går, hvor vi alle havde den vildeste jetlag. Der var vist ikke en eneste, der holdt sig lysvågen hele formiddagen! Aldrig har jeg nikket så meget og faldet så hurtigt i søvn. Lukkede jeg øjnene i 2 sekunder, begyndte jeg straks at drømme!
Det betød så også, at min bluse, som er i rib med hhv. 4 og 6 ret eller vrang, var for svær...... Så jeg opgav at tælle til 4 og kastede mig over en ribstrømpe istedet. Men efter at være faldet i søvn efter 2 ret og derefter vågne og ikke kunne huske at der kom 2 vrang bagefter, gav jeg altså op!
I dag gik det heldigvis uden problemer!

At the front of the room there were couches for the professors. You should know your place! All the rest of us had nice chairs, though. I was knitting, and it went well.
That is, apart from yesterday, when everyone had the most crazy jet-lag. I guess no-one really were able to stay awake all morning! I never before nodded this much or fallen asleep so fast! If I kept my eyes closed for 2 seconds, I started seeing dreams right away!
I meant, that my sweater, which is ribbing (4 and 6 knit or purl, respectively) was too difficult...... So I gave up counting to 4 and started knitting my ribbed socks instead. But after falling asleep after knitting 2 stitches and then waking up, not remembering that the next stitches were purl 2, I gave up!
Today went well, though.

Her sidder de så, alle professorerne, og kommer med en opsummering af mødet.
Fra i morgen er vi færre læger. Alle os danskere og de burmesere, der er på hospitalet, og så skal vi bl.a. ud at se patienter. Det glæder jeg mig til! Hvor mærkeligt det end lyder, så er det virkelig spændende at lære nye sygdomme at kende, og man lærer det altså bedst, ved at se rigtige patienter!
Desuden skal vi se selve sygehuset. Også mægtig spændende!
Måske skulle jeg så i morgen forsøge at vise jer mit strikketøj? Det går ret godt med det!

And here they are, all the professors, summing up the meeting.
From tomorrow, we will be less doctors. All the Danes and the Burmese doctors from the hospital, and then we are going to see some patients. I'm looking forward to that! However strange it may sound, it is really exciting getting to know some new diseases, and you learn best by seeing real patients!
We are also going to see the hospital. Also very exciting!
Maybe tomorrow I'll show you my knitting? It is coming along nicely.
