BB

A major program of our trip was a whole afternoon visit to BB.

For those who do not (yet) have children, BB is essentially a huge indoor theme park which is full of role-playing games so that children could try different kinds of jobs – literally from astronaut to zoo-keeper (alas, of course not sophisticated enough to be from duke to dustman).

For sure Euterpe was excited. (Not so much for her parents – it is in fact rather tiring.) She tried dairy farmer, pastry baker, fireman, emergency room worker, and, of course, surgeon.

For that very last task, our princess had to gown up and take part in an operation on a dummy. For obvious reasons the arrangement is more for fun than real-life experience. After watching the “surgery” for a while, my wife asked, “Dear, it seems so unreal. What do you think?”

I chuckled,”There is one thing that resemble reality very much: The scrub nurse controls everything!”
