monday nights fiesta kick off

Monday is the aniversary of my lulu's (grandfathers) bday but also the official start of the fiesta. I spent most of the day with kitt, patrick, kennith there little brother and leewan. We went bowling again which is always fun and i also bought the other 9 start wars tickets for wednesday night. 100p each. in the end i think it cost me for 11 people here what it would have cost me for 3 people in AUS. After a long day of shopping and having a good ole time that you do in supermalls like games and food and buying cheap shit went went home and got ready for fiesta.

Me kitt patrick and leewan were all tired as beacuse weve pretty much been pissed everyday since i got here. Kitt had a fight with his gf and only drank for a bit then went home for some takui i hope. We (me pat and leewan then continued with drinking and eating at my uncles place and more tagay for every one. They were feeding me drinks. I was sick as but i still kept drinking. In the end i was overtly pissed and then danced all night. One of my cousins taught me the cha cha which i still cant do. i danced with heaps of chicks but i think most of them were my cousins. Here there is a very close bonding between family. Everyone lives so closely together and the family unit is so strong that every one is close. No one ever lets another family member fall too far ito the shit. So when every one parties the whole family gets involved. there is no legal age for drinking and the party/ disco as they call it here was held by the chapel. It is very strange getting pissed and dacing with a few hundred people that are 80% family and of all ages and sex preferences. There a kids as young as 8 - Kennith and uncles and lulu's as old as 70 plus dancing there with us younger generation of 16-30's and the gays too. They are very open about there sexuality and they are accepted for who they are and not what sex they choose to sleep with.

I danced until 3am but i started getting sick and my stomach was killing me. This was the start of a long night and day of pain which as i type is still continuing.

p.s. foreigners beware - dont drink the water (im not sure but i think that it most likely was water that i drank from the ice in my drinks, but it caould also be the beers) Its oll good cause they feed me like crazy here.

enjoy.
