I went for a walk today and as always started talking to some children. Their English was very good (much better than my Kinyarwanda!) After introducing myself one of the children told me I should find a husband called Jack. I thought that this was him but it turned out his name wasn’t Jack. Then I thought maybe it was his brother. But no, that wasn’t right either. After many questions, trying to work out why I would need to marry someone called Jack, it came to light that it is because in the film Titanic the two main characters are called Rose and Jack! How Titanic managed to make it to Rwanda for a 9 year old boy to watch I am not sure!On my return some of the local kids were out and about. I was most amused when I was greeted with‘Rosa, Rosa, what is your name?’
