One of the advantages of guesthouses is that during one or more months, you leave with other residents. Guesthouses are thus a wonderful place to make new friends from many parts of the world. It is already 1 year and 8 months I’ve been living in a Oakhouse guesthouse, and I’ve met a lot of people, some of them having become very good friends.

Yesterday evening, we had a farewell BBQ party for two residents, an Australian girl and an American man who were to leave the house on the following morning. The party lasted until early…morning. With much booze flowing, it’s not surprising that some passed out after a while like the Oakhouse manager on the above picture who got drawings made on his face by everyone.

It was a really good party during which everyone had a lot of fun. It reduces the sadness of parting.
