These last few weeks have been crazy! Soo much has been going on!
To start things off, christmas was very, very different. First of all, it's summer here. weird. But hey, Santa still wears his jacket, boots, hat, everything. Second, they don't celebrate on christmas day, they do all the celebrating on christmas eve, with the usual dinner/party and LOTS of crazy fireworks, haha. Then at midnight, everyone opens up presents! Then they hang out for a little, then go to sleep. The next day is just like a normal day, except for a special mass at church.
After that was new years, which is pretty much the same, except more fireworks, and more partying. We hung out at the house with family and celebrated, lit off fireworks, etc. Then around 1 a.m., me and my host brother went out with some of his friends. First we went to his friend's house, then went downtown where they had blocked off the streets, the clubs had put their speakers on the sidewalk, and everyone was in full party mode. I went home around 4, but the majority i think stumbled home around 8 or 9 in the morning!
Then, yesterday, i changed to my second host family! They are wonderful! Also, they are my first host family's best friends, so i already knew them quite well. So far, so good, I am very excited to get to know them even more!
