Where do you live now?
In Hamburg.
And are there many esperantists in Hamburg?
I don't know yet, I just moved there.
Yes, yes, a year ago at the IJK (Internationnal Youth Convention)
I found love…
…esperanto love.
And I followed it.
So that is the result of the language.
One never knows what can happen during the IJK (Internationnal Youth Convention)
So yes.
And, so a year ago I didn't know it but…
going to the IJK changed my life.
Changed your life?
Absolutely
And should everyone go to the IJK?
Well yes, obviously.
Yes, I recommend it to everybody. Go to the IJK.
Particularly next year becaus I am one of the organizors.
Oh, yes! And where will it be?
It's in Badajoz.
Which country?
It's in Spain. It's some town near the,
the border with Portugal.
Good weather… We will even have a swimming pool.
-A swimming pool? -Yes.
So the Universal Kongres will happen in Lisbon, near the… quite nearby.
And, yes.
I expect a very nice atmosphere, and geat weather.
Many cool esperantists will participate.
Will you take part in the IJK next year?
Next year? Where will it take place?
In Spain.
Oh, which city?
Badajoz.
I never heard of it but…
What… The best reason to discover it!
This year it was in Togo…
In Togo yes, I participated in Togo and woogh! It was a great…
Can you tell me about it?
Okay, Woof! So…
It was a chaotic situation. It was the…
I didn't participate in many IJK's, It was my 2nd one.
But still probably the most unusual IJK.
But uh… So Africa is Africa.
I don't know how to say that.
The culture was different.
Togo is full… A very poor country and wasn't as accustomed to tourists as other countries.
So anyway that was very new for all of us, even for the Africans.
We were like strangers because we were white and [they] aren't used to having white people like that.
The people wanted to …?… with you. And so…
The experience as a thaveler was different and we weren't there only as tourists more than usual.
You are with locals and you don't feel like you're a stranger.
So you are already an esperantist, because you are with esperantist.
So it was always cool. And even though it was so chaotic and badly organised, it didn't matter.
Very cool.
But it wasn't a usual experience of the IJK. The programming didn't work well.
We expected that.
Because we already knew abouth their lack of resources.
Was it a succes all the same?
Jes, I would say it was.
So many of them never had been to a large [esperanto] gathering. It was the largest gathering in Africa… Ever!
Because we were more than a hundred participants.
I think a hundred and twenty were there.
Something like that.
It's your turn, so I will leave you.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
