Screaming party

So I am having my intercultural shock right now:D

On eof the first things to understand and analyze the culture is to look on facts. After you can start tryingg to understand what each behaviour means. Like in one very ince ICL game: girls were sitting on the floor and guys on the hairs, girls were feeding guys and so one. Those are facts but many people in this game misunderstand them, telling that it is gender discrimination, and knowing the story why they are doing those things, change totally the undestanding of situation.

Therefore I will try to present just facts from last night, without any judgement, maybe I will understand it later...

We were asked to move to the gym, like everyone on the campus. Around 300 people were walking together for some time, what was characteristic it was a scream. One person starts screaming, then the next one, and next one... It was generally laud. All the freshmens were told to move to one gym, after standing there around 15 minutes, we were told to go to the other one, I followed the folk, it was so laud. Next to the gate to gym in two lines there were a lot of people in the some shirts standing and screaming and showing either right or felt hand.

When all the people get in to the hall, people in the some t-shirts started running around us and screaming, lauder and lauder. Finally all the poeple in the some shirts went to the stage and all the others sit down on the floor.

IN the next 2 hours we were told to do many different things like get in groups of 3 people, 6 people and bigger, stay in the circle and sit down on our knees, shake the ass, there was a lot of jumping as well and of course a lot of screaming; quite often we were asked to say our name or sometimes even where are we from and what we like.

All this finished with staying in to big circles and shaking hands with a lot of people.


to be continue ... (after I will charge my battery)
