12 | Midnight. | Misasak'alina. |
13 | Where should I spend the night? | Aiza aho no tokony handaniako ny aliko? |
14 | Should I look for a hostel? | Tokony hitady htely ve aho? |
15 | Alone? | Irery? |
16 | At night? | Amin'ny alina? |
17 | I'm terribly tired, want to take a shower and fall asleep. | Tena trotraka tanteraka aho, te-hisasa dia hatory. |
18 | The Brazilian guy, Cesar, offered to take me to the hostel he had booked for himself. | Ilay bandy Braziliana, Cesar, dia nanolo-tena ny hitondra ahy ho any amin'ilay hotely efa namandrihany efitra ho azy. |
19 | Interesting that it took us a long time to find the hostel. | Mahagaga fa nandritra ny fotoana ela no nitadiavanay ilay hotely. |
20 | I felt like crying. | Saika nitomany aho. |
21 | How tired I was. | Tahaka ny inona ny harerahako. |
22 | We walked along the street. | Nandeha teny an-dàlana izahay. |
23 | Friday. | Zoma. |
24 | Lots of people around. | Olona marobe manodidina. |
25 | Everybody's having a good time! | Mifaly avokoa ny olon-drehetra! |
26 | And I'm awfully scared! | Dia matahotra mafy aho! |

28 | I am brave, at the age of 19 I had the courage to do this, on my own ) | Be herim-po aho, amin'ny taonako 19 dia nanana herim-po nanaovana izao aho, irery ) |
29 | Finally, we found this hostel, but it turned out there was no spare bed for me. | Farany dia hitanay ilay hotely, nefa hay tsy nisy fandriana malalaka ho ahy. |
30 | Cesar offered me his bed and made a bed for himself on the floor… I was shocked by how noble he was. | Natolotr'i Cesar ho ahy ny fandriany dia nanao ladina an-tany izy… Tohina tamin'ny fahatsaram-panahiny aho. |

37 | I am also a happy-go-lucky Russian unemployed. | Rosiana tsy an'asa tsy mivaky loha koa aho. |
38 | I continue writing letters, filling out applications, making phone calls… | Manohy manoratra taratasy aho, mameno ireo fangatahana, manao antso an-tariby… |
