The French definitely do some things right. After my conference was over on Friday afternoon, I met up with two of my co-workers (Ruth and Kaylan) to go to a film screening at the Franco-Namibian Cultural Center (FNCC). The FNCC is this wonderful café and museum sponsored by the French Embassy and open to the public. It’s within walking distance from work – they have art exhibits, speakers, films, etc. and most of the events are free. Friday was global earth day, so they had two documentaries (in English) – the first about Namibia and the second about the planet. They had an intermission with wine, cookies, chips, juice… again free. I’m going to have to check their events calendar regularly… you can’t beat free wine and a movie!
There café is also spectacular. For small dishes, they have a toasted sandwich “crammed” with Camembert cheese and a little cranberry. I’m pretty sure I had a dream about it last night. Somehow, our check ended up being around $15 a person (including tax and tip) – this includes everyone’s entrée, two bottles of wine (and good wine, at that), as well as a round of after dinner cocktails. Thanks for a fun Friday, FNCC!
