Two worlds
Jun. 26th, 2014 05:29 pmWe have outstayed four neighbors in a hospital room. One of them was a very interesting character.
A Turkish girl, 21. Just delivered a third child. It seemed strange for her to meet my wife, 30+ y.o, delivering a first child...
She smokes 2 packs of cigarettes per day. Lives in a not-too-good Munich suburb. She has many relatives who visited her every day, and each relative has an expensive iphone. They do not hesitate to use phones as jukeboxes with oriental music. Though she does not have any phone, and had to lend one from us to tell her mother that she had just delivered a baby.
When she was discharged from the hospital, she mentioned that she cannot take an U-bahn because she is not able to read a map and signs. She is not religious, does not wear a hijab, does not pray (though IMHO one is not allowed to pray for some time after delivering a baby).
Very nice and friendly young girl. Usually there is simply no place where we could meet people of this background and talk with them, but hospital is exactly the place where one can make any type of connection.
