Last night, we all – Paul, Diatou, Ethen and me – all went to a birthday party for a little girl here in town, but as Diatou warned, an African children's party is just as much a party for the adults. At first it was just a lot of kids playing with balloons and having a good time while most of the adults sat on the side eating and the like.
However, as the night progressed and the beer, cider, and vodka began flowing, it evolved into a party for the grown ups. We had a very drunk Russian guy singing, loud music playing, a lot of the adults out dancing, with a lot of little kids running around going crazy with balloons and kazoos. It was a lot fun!
And, oddly enough, it was in Ireland where I came across my first can of Arabic Coca-Cola, which I found novel enough to photograph.
As the party progressed, we bought a few "take aways" – beers you take from the pub – and went over to the home of one of Paul's Nigerian friends and had a very drunken discussion of a new Bollywood/Nollywood movie that apparently Paul and his friend has been working on for sometime.
It was a fun night in Tralee, though probably not what most people would expect...
