Since the end of August, we have done a lot of traditional jaiak, Basque parties. Because I love them in every way, I wanted to introduce my visiting Dutch friends to one. Just too bad for us, I couldn't find any.. Therefore, we had to somehow create our own fun. No problemo! We were happy to see each other and we had enough gun to catch up, so creating our own, perhaps less traditional, party was to be a good choise.
After an awesome day in Donostia (sights, pintxos, cider and txakoli), we headed for Arrasate to spend our last night together. Unfortunatley, the calendar said it was Monday. and what can you possibly do on a Monday?!
All our Basque lagunak(friends) were panikcing over deadlines, so we invited our Erasmus friends. Cause Erasmus people aren’t known for having the tightest schedule, as I experience myself! But as the mood was kind of weird the whole weekend, we decided to thematize the party as a dress-up-as-dumb-as you-can-party. Great fun, most people showed up, and they had even bothered to put on something stupid.
Somehow people loosen up a bit when they dress up, as if they can hide behind a different personality. They act, and that can be for the good. Everyone was dancing to my wacky, fast Romanian music and having such a great time!
My Dutch friends and I made us some dinner at two o’clock at night to keep the energy level steady for some more fun, and it worked. We ended the festivities around 6, cause we figured our neighbours would like to have a peaceful breakfast. Still wonder if they managed to sleep at all that night..
In respect for my friends I chose not to post any pictures of this night, since it might do damage to their future career
