Sexy Hippo

That Saturday I went to a 21st birthday of an Australian friend from the revue. The theme was cartoons and she literally was the belle of the ball, beast included. It was amazing to see how much effort actually gets put into a dress-up party. I saw buzz lightyears and Woody's, Little red riding hoods, Ariels, Smurfs,Snowwhites and a lot of powerpuffgirls. I was dressed as Alice in Wonderland, but not exactly a spectaclar version as I only have limited resources for dressing up here. It was a lot of fun with dancing some of the revue again and listening to speeches, which is a custom for major birthdays here.


Sunday I spend the entire day picknicking in the park with Lisianne and on Monday I just did some homework (meaning browsing the internet to find lovely places to go to in November) and read a book in the garden.

On Tuesday it was raining as if I was home so I spend my five hours in between working on a advertising schedule for Hungry Jacks so mostly cursing the computer for refusing to save data and the people who gave the assignment as they nicely mentioned percentage targets, just not in which of the four different categories they wanted to achieve that target. When I got home I almost immediately left again to go to a Thai restaurant for a birthday, where we ended up discussing the fact that a Hippo was Harms favourite animal and I learned how to say sexy Hippo in Japanese and Swedish. Afterwards we went tot The Establishment where they were playing Salsa music. It is a lot chique than Cantinero, but still the atmosphere made me feel like I was back in Lappa, Rio de Janeiro. Trying to teach Harm some moves was a lot of fun and I feel like a kid in a candystore when I see how spectacular some people can dance.
