Brighton Beach and a Latin style birthday party...
Before a new weekend starts, time for an update about the last two weeks. With two weekends full of parties, drinks, beaches, waves, "barbies", sunshine, rain, Dutchies and AIESECers as the mayor highlights, there's once again plenty to write about!
To not make it too confusing let's just do one weekend a post in chronologicle order, starting with saturday November 19th, the day my housemate Matt celebrated his birthday and the day I took my very first Salsa dancing steps!
Melbourne is a city of events and a city of many different cultures, there's always something good happening somewhere in the city, always something to see. The weekend in question, it was the Latin community's turn to show and celebrate their roots, during the Johnston Street Latin Festival. We decided visiting it would be a nice way to get in the mood for Matts 28th birthday party.
After a few shots of tequilla and some Coronas at our house (as an AIESEC trainee, you should always try to adapt to new cultures as good as possible!:)), we went to the place with a whole bunch of people, and had a blast of a time! Life music on the streets, many small market booths with different kinds of latin food and goodies, people dancing everywhere, and last but not least beautiful latin girls all around! Some people took pictures and even some video shots of me trying to learn Salsa. I haven't been able to get my hands on this material, but in the very rare case it would be worth showing you, I'll get back on it!
In the evening the party continued in the "Trainees House" with an indoor barbie and Matt's delicious home-made Sangria. It was such a wonderful night, that even the police decided to drop by to see what exactly was going on! They made us turn down the volume of the music as well!:-)
The day after, Sunday November 20th, was a kind of lazy day. Together with the Dutch guys Luc, Gerben-Jan and Gerbrand, who all had stayed in the house for the night, I went to Brighton Beach. A nice and quiet beach not too far from, but with a beautiful view on the city. It's situated in the Bay though, so no surfing. Just chilling, sleeping a bit, watching the kite- and windsurfers, drinking the last Coronas which were left from the night before. We concluded with a good pizza and salad in one of the many Italian restaurants at Lygon street.
Some more pictures of the weekend can be seen in the Party and Going Out gallery as well as in the Surf & Beach gallery of my Online Photo Album. It's not too much though, I might upload some more footage made by other people later on.
