Where Am I ??

Do you ever wonder how you get yourself into certain predicaments? Just when I think my life here is about to get ordinary-- I get thrown into a situation unlike any I have ever been in. This place is amazing! So, a friend of the owner (of the cafe I work in) came in and asked me if I could work for him on Saturday. He needed a cloak girl for a wedding he was coordinating. He said he would pay me 50 pounds to work 7-1am. Not bad, right? Besides I throw up that amount every weekend from the pub anyway. I might as well make something out of this weekend- hee hee. AND who knows, weddings are great for eligible guys (usually looking nice). Well, it was a nice wedding and I was hanging up coats but it was the most boring job in the world!! Did I mention it was an Arabric wedding? I have never been to one of those before. WOW!! They really go all out! The ladies are decked out in full on make-up (war paint!) and dressed to impress (wooo...let's say the girls my age looked like they were going to a club, I was shocked to see that, esp bc of their culture). The men are pretty decked out too in a very flashy way. The Mariott Hall that they had it in was decorated from top to bottom...Balloons, ribbons, flowers...the works. The bride & groom practically had there own lavish throne! Then they had belly dancers shaking their bon-bon to and fro!! The food was monumental! A feast to the eyes as well the stomach! AND I must say Arabic food wasn't too bad. I thought it was better than the Polish food I've eaten here. And I ate the whole time bc there was nothing else to do. Bonus, bonus!! I got hit on by some drunk unibrow Arabic dudes wearing some really tacky suits too! Yay! What a night! Unfortunately the only guy I left with was with the black car cabbie that took me home. =(
