Had one of the weirdest nights that I have had in a long time on Fri night. Went out with some of the girls from the hostel after the opera. Too late to get tickets for that but ended up going to the dress rehearsal for some religious festival revolving around a bull! So picture this, 4000 people in a football stadium, massivo stage and sound system. Pumping out crap brazilian music with some dodgy X-factor rejects. But then all the Brazilian's in the croud start to line dance, and they keep this going for over two hours. Looked like a variant on either wigfield, los ketchup or the makaranna. While this is going on there are fireworks going off and people dressed in bull and amazon warriors flying about on wires and on top of cranes. Fun to watch but got a bit weird as we had no clue what was happening!!

Got bored and tried to get to a club but the one that was vaguely near the hostel turned out to be the gayest club that I have ever been in. Full on gaylords, transvestites, transsexuals and other weird wall to wall. Not been looked like a piece of meat for a while but that what was going on there!! But was cool as was there with 3 chicks and just used them as my Chicita shield to keep all the loopers at bay!!

Anyway muchos tired at the mo as been on planes and various airports for the last 12 hours. Powernap time before seeing what Salvador has to offer. Going out with nothing as this place is meant to be way dodgier than Rio. Have my pepper spay, baton and various wallets at the ready!

Laters,
