When you walk out of the gate, this shopping area is right across the street. A little different than your typical American outside shopping strip. But then, everything is a little different. You'd think it was just for pedestrians, but every once in a while you get a stray car or delivery truck squeezing down the road, and many a motorcycle/scooter. And a little less clean, pretty, nice smelling, and manicured than a fancy outdoor mall in the states. It's hard to explain, but it's just a little different.
Take a turn off the main strip and you're on this street, which runs into the church we've been going to... you can barely make out the "Baptist" of Mission Baptist Church in shiny gold letters. Another tiny road where you wonder... cars? people? Yes, and yes!
It is an English speaking church, so it's mostly people from the base going there, and some others from the community. We've been really happy with it, and they have more to offer for the kids than a couple other places we'd been. And it's where I'll be going to MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) once a month... we had our first meeting a couple weeks ago and it was so good.
