Last night, we did something extremely stupid.

My co-worker and I, also a woman, went out to eat at a local restarant. It was located about a 20 minute walk from her house down side streets. We were there and the curfew was called earlier than we anticipated. When we finally decided to walk home, it was ten minutes after the curfew had started. We decided to make the walk despite the restarant staff warning us not to go.

We foolishly thought it would be fine because earlier in the day we had arrived back at her house 15 minutes after curfew. What we didn't think about was that we were two small women walking down dark side streets, violating curfew at night. The soldiers were young and we were violating the law. It was so foolish.

There were no peoplr on the street, therefore, no witnesses and we could have in a serious situation. It was dark so we could have startled these potentially trigger happy young boys. But also, we were violating curfew - and we were alone with only other soldiers around. We could have physically attacked and no one culd have helped us.

It was stupid and I will never do that again.
