Are you ready ready to go go?!

Ok,

After having been accused of blog neglect (Ben, Ben, Ben) my half-way-through-the-month-of-October resolution is... TO REMEMBER TO BLOG! (And I'm even taking time out of work -when, yes I should be working, - in order to blog for you!!!)

I am going to give you some very important Argentine cultural knowledge, listen carefully! It's all about parties. because latino's know how to part-ay!

A girl's 15th birthday!

Let me explain:

It is a Big deal.
It signifies that they are no longer a child. (A guy's is their 18th)

And this weekend we have one of these parties! A few weeks ago one of the girls had her 15th birthday and now we're having the party.

Now, Argentine parties/gatherings are basically always amazing - lots of food, lots of people, lots of fun, music, dancing... etc But this one has it's own traditions. The girl will dress up in a prom dress/dress... there will be photos with every guest... there will be dancing... and usually a dance in which the girl dances with each of the guys... a video of pictures from when they were a child to now... speeches etc. So the party will carry on until about 2 in the morning.

I'm not exactly sure what this party will include, but it no doubt will be good. They've been preparing for ages, but just today the house has had a big clean and when I come back from the office I think all the room will be decorated! Tomorrow we'll be finishing the preparations... and then... celebrating!!!


And.. Guys... I have a very very very important piece of news for you all...

So important!!!!!

But I'm going to tell you on Monday so that you come back and check the blog!

Eee hehehe :)

Hahahaha, I am just commenting on EVERYTHING you've posted since the middle of October today xD

Why on Earth does a girl come of age 3 YEARS before guys? Isn't that utter madness? I was still the most childish of children at 15! Lol.

Love you lots!
