Zambian Party Boys

Last night Dan and I had planned to go to dinner then the movies. Her new boyfriend, Seb, (he is from Zambia) wanted her to go to a birthday party for one of his buddies. So I tagged along too (for support - Dan is a Mormon and doesn't drink and her boyfriend isn't and does)

We were met out the front by another of Seb's friends (I later found out his name was Mathews) and taken into the party... which was a bit of a culture shock for Dan (not her usual kind of party)

We had made it clear to Seb that we wouldn't be staying long because we were going to the movies (to see Harry Potter!!) We no sooner had arrived than he disappeared off to the bottle shop, and our escort, Mathews, also disappeared, not to return until we were leaving.

It was a little surreal as there were only 6 girls (we were all white) and we were outnumbered 3 to 1. (they were all dark skinned)

We ended up leaving after an hour and a half because it just isn't Dan's scene, but weren't in the mood to go see Harry Potter, so we thought we would head off to the Casino. Well, we couldn't find a parking spot so we ended up going to Kings Park & just sitting there, watching the boats on the river and talking (and getting eaten alive by mosquitoes!!)
