Paradiso

sooooooooooo we planned to go to Paradiso last night.......made plans with Celeste, Francois and Lebo that they would all meet up at my apartment, we'd have supper and then move on to the party......

everyone arrived around 7pm and we ate pizzas and chips and chatted til late.......and around 10:20pm we decided right, that's the perfect time to head off to Paradiso for a good night of partying....i mean the clubs in SA are good to hit at aournd 11pm right? i mean really.....gosh i even msholozi'd my noombies...and got all dressed up for it....

So we excitedly arrive at Paradiso after a tram ride and a nice long walk later......and everyone is LEAVING.....they are LEAVING????!!!!!!!! i mean WHAT THE HELL was going on???? they were all getting dressed up in their jackets and leaving.....i'm still trying to digest it....they were leaving.......we asked the people that were leaving what's going....so this one kid was so funny......he said well the act is over...and we said well it's only supposed to start at 9pm....and he smugly looks at his watch and says....welll...it's 11pm now....duh....and we were flabbergasted!!!!!

in retrospect it's extermely funny....but in the moment......we were highly unimpressed........a fabulous evening with the strongest crudest mix up in between.....

so we went to chill in stead and then headed home...and while walking home we witnessed an uuuuuuugggggglllllyyyyy bicycle accident.....this lady was riding happily long (i think she was a little bit LOT drunk) and she kissed the kerb so hard, she pulled back skin and gashed her chin....there was blood everywhere....so we went to help her...but some local dutch people got to her first....so we watched and offered help...but we were not needed so we left.......most surprising happening of the evening............the people who were helping the "fallen" lady....didn't call the ambulance...they were calling Tom, Dick and her pet dog before calling the ambulance!!!! madness!!!!
