Pat and I were heading back to our hostel after having lunch and on our way we passed a soccer/cricket field, flooded with boys enjoying the afternoon cricket play after a long day at school. Pat kept on looking back to the field, tempted to join in on the fun. Being a westerner, you're bound to be welcomed with much enthusiasm. With that in mind, Pat approached the group of boys, beaming with confidence that the boys would fight over him which team he would be playing for. Not. They all flocked ahead of him, throwing their fists in the air repeatitively screaming "You GO! You can't play!" and other uncomprehensible stuff. Am certain it wasn't positive.
With a dissappointed and slightly shocked look on his face he almost whispers "They wouldn't let me play cricket. Most boys would let me play cricket with them. These boys aren't very nice." Aw.
