Birthday Number 2

Today is Friday, and I'm at school drafting with pencil. I have been really busy as of late, so I haven't had time to blog, let alone do required reading. I have a ton of pictures, so when I get the time, I will catch up, I promise!

Last night was Alex's birthday celebration, who is one of the dudes from UTA. That's the 2nd birthday on this trip! Since it was a Thursday night, we had to search the city for a lively atmosphere. It wasn't that hard, we eventually found an 18+ club on the third try called KY Klubbi. The first 2 were either old people who couldn't dance or completely dead. It turns out that Finnish people in general have no rhythm on the dance floor, so that made for some good laughs. 1.50 for beers before midnight! Also, since 18 is the legal drinking age, people were slamming back those drinks. There was still a large crowd who weren't drinking, and they danced in a circle typically, kinda like high school prom. These circles are nearly impenetrable. Alex boldly penetrated one of them, doing the robot. They all got a kick out of it, but promptly moved away to reform their circle.

Several of girls pretended to not know English when they were too stiff to get onto the dance floor. In general, the girls were a bit too shy. The guys were very much the opposite. They love to drink, and dance... if that's what they call it. Most of the time I noticed they would just shake and grab... everywhere and everything. Hahaha.

Much more to come....
