Last night was one of the best nights I've had here so far. Three days after I got back from my trip was the date of the graduation party my class has been planning and fund raising for over a year. It definitely lived up to expectations. This party is kind of like an equivalent of prom in the US. But the party includes family and friends, and the dinner starts at 9 with the dancing at 12:30 and went until 6 am.
The Party:
The party was held in our school gym but it was decorated well that it was unrecognizable. The tables for family and friends were on the sides and down the middle was the red carpet for the egressados (graduate's) entrance. The carpet led to the table for the egressados. Everyone enters as a couple and chooses 30 seconds from a song they want to enter too, then at the end the boy twirls the girl, gives her a rose and a kiss and the photographer takes a picture. After everyone enters we ate dinner at our table, We had asado, beef and chicken, ice cream for dessert, and to drink--unlimited wine. After dinner to start the dancing is the traditional waltz. First we walzed with each other, and then our parents, and then friends and whoever else. At 12:30 more people who couldn't come to the dinner come for the dance part. The red carpet is moved and the lights start and everyone dances until 6am. That's pretty much how it worked... Halfway through we brought out party hats, glowsticks, and foam.
