The past two weeks we have had some interesting activities for Monday night. Last Monday (sept. 15th) was the night before Mexico's Independence day so it's a big night to go out and party and then the actual independence day is a big time to be with you family, almost like new years eve?? Anyway we decided to celebrate by going to a bull fight! When I originally agreed to going I figured it was just bulls chasing after men with red capes but it was much more than that!
I was honestly a little nauscious from the whole experience but...when in Mexico right? At first they have the bull run around, chasing several pink capes (only the main guy has a red one) and after he gets a little more tired they bring out a guy on a horse who spears the bull! After that they have a guy run at him three separate times with two darts each time for a total of six. Finally after all of this the bull fighter begins his dance with the bull before stabbing him! ahh I couldn't believe that I was watching it happen, and they did it 6 times!!
Pretty brutal stuff, but apparently I still hadn't gotten my fill of violence so this past Monday I
went to see Lucha Libre which is Mexico's version of WWF. Like the wrestling it was also quite an experience. I learned a whole new vocabulary that night. People get so into it! Even adult women were screaming and yelling. The best part is that our professor from the University took us, so the next day we discussed all the different cuss words and why some are more offensive then others. Talk about a useful lesson!
