Getting ready to go out.

It was a good night. A good good night. A super good good night.

So i went to Mahatma Electro Lounge with my Mexican, German and Brazilian friends to celebrate my first month living in Curitiba. Well, the club basically plays Reggaeton, form of urban music that became popular among Latin American youth in the early 1990s. I enjoyed the music very much. But i got myself drunk after a glass of strong Caipirinha with maracujá (Brazil's national cocktail) and bottle of Heineken, also suffering a mild hangover till the next day. Also, i could only fall asleep until 7.30am because of the caffeine!


Mexican's Astronaut.

Before going to the club, i had two shots of Astronaut in my friend's house, to make us tipsy so we don't need to pay more for the expensive drinks at the club and also to keep us awake all night till early morning. Why Astronaut? Because after the shot you will walk like an Astronaut. LOL



Well, it's a typical Mexican shot, Vodka with half of a lime with sugar and Nescafe on top. We put the lime into the mouth and squeeze its juice with Nescafe and sugar then hold it in the throat (see picture 6) before we ¡salud (cheers) the shots of vodka. This is kinda difficult. Next we have to immediately toss the shot of vodka and chase the sugar+Nescafe+lime juice back to the throat. This step isn't to choke on the drink but to simply drink the shot as fast as possible while minimizing taste therefore the motion will consist of quickly downing the contents of the vodka.


One picture before heading out.

Anyway my Mexican and German friends all danced pretty well. It's been a long while to have such good night since my last clubbing in Osaka, Japan with my classmates. Never had i enjoyed dancing so leisurely either. Surprisingly, you will automatically dance when you are tipsy. I like the feeling but not over the limit. Because i slept in a toilet room for about 20-30mins to get off the sudden "drunk". After that i continued dancing with friends and reached home at 5:30am while some of them were still dancing. Mexicans really party hard!! Unbelievable.

p.s. 1 : I always look bad when i am tipsy! Blush easily also.

p.s. 2 : It's my first month here in Curitiba, Brazil, Latin America!

Unfortunately, it's too dark.

Otherwise, you could have seen how nice my friends dance!
