Well my weekend can once again only be described as crazy. It started actually, immediately after work on Friday. All of the people from the municipality hopped on two buses and straight to a restaurant in a small village called Gabernitza. There, all of the young people (like myself) crowded into a small table. The table, originally intended to seat 10, ended up with 25 people crowded around it, eating village salads and all relieving the tension from the work week by flirting with each other, making jokes and of course, forcing everyone to drink as much wine and rakiya as possible. Plamen (one of my favorite guys in the municipality) kept refilling my, Maria's and Jasmina's glasses and telling us "nazdrave" in order to get us to drink fast. Kalyn (who I WILL marry) asked me to slow dance several times and made lots of jokes at my expense. Soon, the horo dancing began, and as one more difficult one came up, those who didn't know it well stepped down, and told me I didn't know it, but I DID! I learned it during training. No, they said I don't know it. I showed them! By the time I was done they were clapping and saying "bravo amerikanka!" Then a bunch of us young ones hopped on a 1:30 am bus to Varna, and met up with some of their (very attractive) male friends at the Planet Disco. At around 7 am we rolled out, exhausted from dancing and drinking, and I crashed at maria's place for the night. I woke up early, met with a young girl who wanted to talk to me about education in America, and went shopping with her and maria. Then I headed on a bus to Shumen. Jen and I went compulsive shopping there and then went back to her house for a girly night of gossiping and pre-drinking. Once sufficiently drunk, we headed to a pool hall, which is usually filled mostly with men. We played a few rounds of pool and were invited to the bar we were going to anyway by some lovely looking Bulgarian men. We got to the club and had a drink in our hand when we were joined by Shumensko birthday boy Chris and his crowd of TEFL volunteer friends. Mahalo for the ego boost Adam. It was just a crazy night I can't remember the rest of dancing, flirting, and somehow I found myself making out with Jen while Adam, Rob, Bryan and Chris were gawking. Then Jen and I were immediately forced home...the rest is innappropriate. What if my parents read this? ;-)...do skoro...
