Katmandu living

With Sinterklaas getting closer the kids are getting into the spirit. Over the weekend the Dutch school had a handicraft morning where Liva and Joop produced (with a great deal of help from Lieke) Swarte Piet hats and also managed to dance with six Swarte Piets and over the weekend Swarte Piet also made a visit to our house to leave them a small treat in Liva and Joop’s shoes in exchange for the mandatory carrot for the horse of Sinterklaas. Liva is somewhat concerned if Sinterklaas will find his way down here and also where the six swarte Piets are staying while waiting for Sinterklaas to arrive but after much discussion we agreed that they were probably staying at the Sheraton and that Sinterklaas would probably come down on Turkish Air.
