First Night On The Town

Okay so back to the dancing subject, let me explain. The first day we were here we talked to a scottish guy who was telling us about the clubs and what not, about this place called The Viper where apparently all the upperclassmen go, it's a dance club. It's really weird their bars here close at midnight, then at midnight everyone goes to clubs to dance which close at 2. So I ask this guy how they dance here, and explained how we dance back home, and being european I thought all the girls would dance super slutty and it would be grinding galore. I mean a lot of the girls here look like baby prostitues and their adds are more risque and what not. But no, he explains that if a guy just came up behind a girl and started grindin that she would probably punch him in the face, that apparently they have to "get to know each other" before they will start dancing anywhere close to that. and by get to know each other he means dancing facing each other about a foot away for about 20 minutes. Okay so by this point im thinkin this guy has to be exaggerating! surely it's nearly the same as America, oh i was wrong

So last night me, misty, and sarah (new friend who is so much fun!!) go out on the town (BTW: sarah is also from OU, but we didnt meet her til we got here, so she is also american and dances like us) So we hang out at a bar down the street from the Viper where I have alcoholic cider (delicious!! GL you have to have it) and a Guiness (best tasting beer ever!) well i didnt realize how high their alcohol content was so i was feelin it pretty good when we got to the club. So we all start dancing, you know what we consider normal, and im not too aware of my surroundings at first, i just assumed they were all dancing like me (by the way this place is PACKED!) oh how wrong i was. they just kinda bend there knees and bob there, it's very odd and rather boring. so i continue dancing the way i do, and my hands are in the air and everything. well people just start staring at us like no other. and other girls are trying to mimic us, but they just kinda look awkward and guys were pointing at us and calling there friends over, IT WAS SO STRANGE! so then i see a ring of like 5 cute guys, so i grab sarah's hand, who grabs mist's hand and i start dancing in the middle of them. not grinding just dancing funny and weird with maybe a few pelvic thrusts and these guys freak out, put all there hands up in like a cone over the 3 of us and start chanting "EIFFEL TOWER EIFFEL TOWER" what the hell??
so i lean over to one of the guys and say "do you guys not dance like this here, we're from america" and he assures me that no one dances like that here, but i guess they thought it was funny or amusing. well he was super attractive so i start dancing with him. well while im doing that mist leans over to a girl that's near us and says "we're american, i guess thats why we dance like this" and the girl says "thats no excuse" i guess how we dance is really looked down upon by some of the girls?? i dunno, still trying to wrap my mind around it and i would look at couples who seemed really into eachother, and realize they were a good 6 inches away from eachother, even though the girls arms were around the guys neck.
So after I posted this to Cassie, Kassey, and Gaby, they all said I wonder if Eiffel Tower means the same thing there as it does here, I had no idea what they were talking about, so I urban dictionaried it...gross. But when these guys were all standing around us they were not even touching us at all, like not even touching hands to dance, so in reality very innocent. Once I get a good guy friend here I am going to ask him.
Anyways, so this same night before all of this happened, we were walking down the street trying to find a cool pub to drink in till it was time to go to Viper, but unlike in Norman a lot of way older people go out to drink here right along with the young folk, but certain bars are more populated with younger people that others, so we wanted to make sure we went to the right place. So mist walks up to two rando guys on the street and asks them for a suggestion, they are super helpful and name several good places. So then we just get to talking with them for about 15 minutes, then a car full of guys pull up and they look like they have to go talk to them so we say bye and thanks. Well the next night (saturday) we are walking down the street trying to decide whick pub to go into again, when we run across the same 2 guys on a different street. This city is very big, so it's really suprising. So we say hi to them and get to talking, in about the first five minutes you can tell everyone is a little uncomfortable because we didnt know if they wanted to get onto where they were going and vice versa, but then all of us come to the realization that we all like each other, so we chat there on the street for a good hour. We wanted them to go to a pub with us, but everyone here dresses up really nice, and they were not at all. Plus they had just purchased beer to go have a small party at their flat, which they invited us to. But we thought 3 girls alone in a foreign country at night with some guys we basically just met, that going to their flat was a bad idea. But I explained that to them, and told them to meet us at Viper tonight (because apparently monday nights are a BIG party night here) so I am hoping that they come and we can find them!!
They were actually not Scottish, one was Lithuanian and the other Romanian, and they were both very cute! but i especially liked the Romanian. His accent sounds like he is a vampire from transylvania, it's pretty nice. They were also so funny and interesting, like we found out that apparently the UK is pretty racist toward people from eastern europe, so I would like to ask them more about this and what not. Anyways ill let you know what happens!
I cant imagine the response you are going to get, when you shake your huge butt in one of these clubs, cant wait!
Love you T
