Starting at a party, I learned a new game that they play here: Maggot or Faggot. So, to get 'maggot' is to get drunk, and if you say no to getting maggot with your gang two nights in a row, you're the faggot and you're not allowed to go out with them for 3 weeks.
We then made our way down towards the octagon and went into this 70's dance club called Fever. 'Twas epic and my old-school fancies were tickled indeed. Afterwards, towards a bar with a live band. Upon arriving back home, my flatmate and I decided it would be best if we blasted early jazz and danced in the lounge. If only there was a recording, because as two people who know nothing of swing dancing, I reckon we tore it up.
Today has been a day of arts and crafts as we went to the junk yard and picked up a table to bring home and use as a sign for our house. Tons of the flat complexes here have goofy names and signs, and seeing as our backyard is the botanical gardens, it'd only be right to call it the 'brotanical mansion.' Sign is in the works [not quite finished painting it yet] but pictures will come. We also snagged a bunch of old records and wall decorated.
We just watched A Serbian Film, and holy scary movie. No wonder there was such hype about it.
More words I learned:
Mean - epic/wild, in a positive way. They seem to capitalize on irony here.
Chat - banter, but used as an adjective.
Yarn - also banter, but lengthier [but chat can be lengthy too.] [noun]
Spin a yarn - tell a story
There's no arugula here. Nor A1 sauce.
Sushi is huge. Like, the roll is filled with rice. No lacking on the fish [if it's even fish. they have rolls that have chicken in them! weird.], but way too much rice.
Kiwis are really cheap here. Going to be the food of choice.
