Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Big celebrations over here?.... well, there's a party always, and around here everybody has music playing all the time somewhere, but big celebrations?...
well, there's mostly religious celebrations about saints and stuff, like "La chinita" in Maracaibo, one of the big cities, on the west of the country; a countrywide one would be Carnival, with LOADS of parades and costumes and stuff, also we celebrate the entire Holy week, and the whole week if free (no schools ), we don't have Halloween officially, though there's still decorations around.
I don't really remember all of them right now, but we have many celebrationsExtended sig

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
NOT going over to the Distrito. Other than that, nope. Maybe a family reunion of sorts.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
I live in the States, so... maybe I'll order tequila at the bar instead of vodka. *nod nod*

Mexico independence day.
I'm so disgusted at current political events, I'll likely do absolutely nothing for the 15/16.

No, blue! Do not mention the--!! The mods see everything! We're doomed!

Well, I don't feel our politics should be taken into account for national holidays. That doesn't change the fact that I still don't care much for the so-called "Independence Day" (More like, Independence Beginning Day).Last edited by Crimmy : Tomorrow at 26:72 DM.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Yeah, that's mostly what I do.
September 7th a national holiday around here - the declaration of republic. My thoughts about it can be summed up by this song. If somebody wants the lyrics or a translation, PM me.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
You know, I've always thought that. Americans celebrate the 4th. of July, which is the date their Declaration of Independence was adopted and signed, while we celebrate September 15/16, the date.... the war for independence started. It wasn't over for 11 years after that... I wish we celebrated the date the war ended instead.
We need an excuse? How about "There's alcohol available."?

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Beer is cheap though; but beer hang-over is the worst... or at least they are to me, last time I got drunk entirely on beer I couldn't step out of bed the next day due the pounding headache and nausea.

At least you weren't drinking Dragons, so your unbright moments of getdrunkness are forgiven.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
It's basically what I ended up calling a drink I ordered in Scotland, and yes it is a mixed drink. It was a quarter each of Scotch, vodka, rum and gin and burned like the snog of a dragon on its way down.
I based it on a drink my ex made on my request when she stayed at someone else's place where her host had a lot of various kinds of alcohol. She mixed together whiskey, vodka, rum, cognac, and at least one more I believe, possibly even more than that. I kept it in an old plastic Coke bottle for several months before opening it up. It was delicious, and also burned a little. It tasted much better than the new attempt.
I have, however, checked online if there are drinks called "dragon" and I managed to find one site with various alcohol recipes with some of them having "dragon" in the name, which are all mix drinks, most of them including vodka. There is also apparently a drink called Green Dragon, but that is more meant as a drug extract than an alcoholic beverage...
One of my friends who tasted of my drink in Scotland told me the whole idea of it reminded her of a drinking game common among students here supposedly, where people end up mixing up to about 7 different kinds of alcohol together, and noted that "you're missing Bailey's", which is a milky kind of alcoholic drink I believe. That's also why I ended up refusing to get some Bailey's to mix in there as well, as I don't like those kinds of drinks and prefer mine clear.
I'm looking forward to trying a Dragon with tequila in it someday.Homebrewer's Signature | Avatar by Strawberries

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Beer is good. And very cheap in Brazil. Except for good beer. Which is expensive. But good. Like, very good.
There is a drink here in Brazil called São João da Barra. It's tar cognac. My friends and I first learned about it from a taxi driver. Everytime someone is dared to drink it, hilarity ensues.

Re: Southern Americas in the Playground (from Mexico all the way down!)
Brazilians on exchange up here mentioned it. It appears it's not sold anywhere else. And I think its alcoholic content is high enough to be illegal in Mexico.
