ALCOHOL

I have never drank so much alcohol before, since I started my AI term... I have done couple of embarrasing scenes in the past after a couple of beers, but it has been exaclty because I was not used to drink. I am for sure more resistant to alcohol now (although for AI standards I am still the one that gets drunk first together with Geta and Sveta) , which in the end is a very good thing ...

Not that this is something I am proud of and stuff, but is simply a fact.

Coming back to 'the consumption' of alcohol ... maybe the most scary thing for me, is HOW CONSIOUS we sometimes in AI team are, that we want to get drunk. Drinking alcohol is something quite natural to happen while you are socialicing (call it party, celebration or just gathering to talk random crap with friends), but making part of drinking games just with the objective of getting drunk (and have fun while doing it) is maybe one of the craziest 'habits' (oh god!) that I have gained lately ...

Responsible? partly Mr. TACO BOSMAN, who has introduced the whole crazy drinking australian culture to the team, supported by people as Frances and Tom (btw, also australians). Actually after getting to know this part of the australian life-style, is when I finally understand how my friend Valentina Lozano (my benchmark in terms of what loving to be drunk is) has already been leaving in Australia for 3 years ... This 'aussie' thing, has anyway found a perfect match in AI: the Central and Eastern Europeans, basically represented by individuals as the party animals of Geta and Sveta and well.. let's face it, also Romas!

YESTERDAY, Saturday 24 of September ladies and gentlemen, was my LAST SATURDAY NIGHT OF 2005 in Rotterdam, I am heading for country visits next week... and guess what, we ended again on drinking games, and what is more painful, with CHEAP SWEET READ AND WHITE WINE ... (disgusting at the beginning) ...

OOSTPLEIN night rocked, Oostplein is the 2nd house where AI team lives, 15 of us live in Hofdijk (dorms) and 5 in this cool 2 floor house that we call Oostplein ... I will miss this kind of team stuff, seriously ... it all started as an invitation from Romas to watch Maria, full of Grace (colombian movie, that we saw and all the people really liked), but after challeging our worldview and having some nice reflexions ... well, drinking games just could not wait...


The top drinkers ... TACO - the drinking games/and other related activities master and GETA, she just loves alcohol



Game 1 ...

It's just too funny to see how much creative can you be around how to use a set of cards to get drunk ... the initial formations for the two games look even so nice, jejej ...



Game 2 ...




Petroula chatting the whole frigging night with Manish and getting drunk at the same time ... Sveta "for a change" lying on everybody ...



For the first time I end not sleeping in my home since I am here in Rotterdam, however the Oosplein leader sofa was not bad at all ... (btw Romas, what a random picture to make?)
