Today was fun! Joy, a lady of the church, took us to see her school’s sports day. It is equivalent to our track and field day. But, it is much more festive. People are dancing, very provocatively, to American music!! It’s very funny to watch, I don’t think they know what the lyrics are to the songs…
As I was seated in under the tent, I became very aware of my surroundings. Everyone under the tent was staring at me!! This is not unusual; I’m always stared at because of my white skin. But I felt like a queen. They brought me coffee and a muffin. People tried to make my experience wonderful, which is funny because I was only watching a field!! But, never the less, I enjoyed it.
First, there was lots of dancing. It was funny to watch the different teams compete. One team was a group of gay men. They actually won the award for dancing. All I could do was stare. These men were not afraid to expose themselves or show their best moves! They were in the skimpiest clothes, very short shorts and tube tops. The tube tops kept coming down as they threw their bodies into motions. It was very funny, they had to keep pulling up their tops, and acting as if it was a part of their routine.
It was exciting to watch the races. All of the students there participated in much practiced cheers. Everyone looked great, even the provocative men. It really put to shame all of my high school track and field experiences. Never have I seen such team spirit and excitement!
