Days 55 - Making friends

Day 55 - (Saturday) Party in the park
The guesthouse I'm living in is not as "social" as the main guesthouse where they have a communcal kitchen and common area and more people. But here in the "countryside" as its come to be known, we're still doing our best to get to know each other. I decided to help things along by organising a park party on the grass out the front of our building - and by organise I mean stick a sign made from a cereal box to the front door of the building. Despite these meagre means, it was a grand success. The weather had been dreary all week but the sun came out and stayed out for us as we bonded over munchies (including stroopwaffles with melted chocolate - new addiction discovered! [thanks to nakita]) and games of soccer and ultimate frisbee. Day turned into night and well all headed down to the "exchange student pub" near town where we boogeyed (and one Spanish guy impressively salsa-ed) to top 40 and old school (think Mmm-Bop and Spice Girls again - never gets old!) side by side. Also finally found a place that sells Australian-sized beers. Although one girl (not in our happy little group I might add) may have had a few too many - she was seen swinging on a pole, yes as in pole dancing pole, swinging on multiple men and ended up making out behind a projector screen in the corner. Imagine our view - couple entangle from the waist down while they're heads are obscured by a giant image of the Hanson brothers... hrm
