So, besides being our school mascot, kind of, bullfighters are just super cool. The whole event is kind of disturbing, but it was a very cool experience.
The etiquette is very different. You don't talk at all. You stay quiet and wait for the toreadors to do their thing with the bulls, and then if you think they did a good job, you clap. If they were not good, you whistle. Overall, 3 out of the 5 matadors we saw got claps, and the other two were apparently pretty bad. I could not tell too much of a difference, but I'm sure the Spaniards judge harshly.
Some of the girls left the fight after the first bull got stabbed, because they just could not handle it. To me, it was a little strange at first, but by the time they got to the 4th or 5th bull, it was fine. Definitely a experience I'm glad I went to, but probably wouldn't pay a whole lot to go back.
In other news. I AM FINISHED WITH SCHOOL! Yes. Done. It feels awesome. Summer 2009 has commenced! Paris is coming soon...
Until next time...
Peace, love and God bless,
Noel
That is such a fun and unique experience!!
ReplyDeleteSchool is great, and all, but there are way more important things going on.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I'm talking about the Rockets. We're up 3-1, and if this continues, I'm going to have to ask you to stay out of the country for a long time. Superstitious as it is, you know it's true. It's all your fault Noel, and I'll have none of it this year.
Just kidding, lucky you being done with school. I'm so jealous.
