Nobody would believe....

... and the funny thing is that there are no proofs about it!!!!

I am refeering to this weekend's events!!! We went everywhere... all the time... NNOOOOONNNNNNNN STOOOPPPPPPP !!!

The weekend started the angolan way: on a Thursday!!! It was the Latin night, at Palos... the most known dance night here in Luanda, during the week!!! ... for me, it was the first time there, can you believe it? :)

But even before that, another first experience... the 1st big encounter with the police, asking me for the "gasosa"!!!! It all happened when I arrived to Palos and Paulo, the "parking specialist" boy (ehehehe) was there... "A bit more... a bit more.... to the left... to the right! STOP!!! Perfect!!! Madrinha, I will watch your car, don't worry!!!".... I was just leaving the car, door still open and keys in my hand, and telling him to watch it seriously, or else, no money, when I heard the BEEEPPPPPPP!!!! The police!!!! I was a very good target!!! A white (but very tanned) girl, with a white tall guy, leaving a very biggggg white car, parked in a not so perfect and not so big, but still OK place..... They asked me for my driver´s licence.... it was OK.... then asked me for my passport.... also OK.... they didn't have anything to ask me money for... except that the parking place was not the best, and the car was too big for it!

Police (P) - We can solve this with 8000 Kz!!!
Me (I) - No.... look, I am a nice girl, and I did not leave the car.... I will park it elsewhere...
P - No.... you took the key out, so you will get a fine!
I - No..... there is no reason... all documents are ok, I am telling you I will park in another place... how can we solve this?
P - 2000 Kz... 2 "recargas"... because we are two
I - A "recarga" is 900 Kz.... so no more than 1800 Kz... since we have only 1700 Kz.... that's it!!!
P - Ok.... but move the car to another place.... (eheheh... for sure they wanted to catch another one just after me!!!)

Next Palos..... it was nice and crowded!!! But since Friday is a working day, it is impossible to stay until late.... unfortunetely, because at 2:00 h the kizomba is just starting...

Friday..... crazy friday!!! I was too tired and I decided to recover some energies before.... going out again... This time I wanted to go to Bay In, I place I have never been before, and it is very famous!!!

I woke up it was almost midnight... me and Isabel, we got ready to go dancing... Bay In, Eden, Palos.... these were my plans.... but in which order? What about the cars if not everybody wanted to go to all 3 places? .... well.... "Sem Maka... we'll see later..."

So the night was GREAT..... Simply great!!! And the nice thing is that we managed with cars, (already) friends, (new) friends.... even dutch people from Den Haag...... can you imagine?!?!?! I could not imagine in the first instance, but they started saying names and places in Den Haag and close to where I was leaving and it was obvious they knew the place.... and most amazing... they were my neighbors!!! Small world!!!

The night started at Bay In... dancing with the fantastic landscape of Luanda´s Bay.... and until around 2:00 AM we were there.... after that.... Palos... not everybody went... just the crazy people!!! ;) Yes we are crazy (SÓ PODEEEEEE)!!!

After that, and we are already talking at 4:30 AM, we still went to meet to rest of the gang at Eden.... to dance the Kizomba!... not only one, but lots!!!!!... I like the place! Everybody knows it!!!.... It's Angola!!!!.... we left around 6:30 AM and the day light was guiding us home!!! It was simply great!!!

Saturday..... No words!!!! I had experienced one of those crazy night already in 2003, but it was not like this.... I will explain..... but only what I can!!!

First thing! Dinner!!! I went to a "pateo" dinner and party.... lot's of people, I did not know everybody..... but some... and, to be honest, enough to have a nice time!!! :) Do you want details?? Naahhhh... ;)

Next... well next I cannot tell..... just some words!!! SUMMER PARTY, again at Palos!!!!..... 2 swimming pools, 4 almost-naked men, lots of sand all over the floor..... veryyyyyyy crowded..... but VEERRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY NICE!!!!! ... ahhhh... and very fresh!!! The swimming pool was the best place to dance!!! ;)

Sunday...well, sunday was more relaxed... as you can imagine I was sooooo tired..... but still, plenty of things to do, and for sure, plenty of things to talk!!! To finish with a great event, Yuri da Cunha concert, at Miami!!! Very good... he dances really really well!!! And yes... new "funny" stories to tell..... but I will not!!!...

Now it is time to work!!!

Komé, então? Tás fixe?
