15 Mars: Je t'aime...dammit!

So a traveling disco came to visit Ambialet last night! Apparently these companies go from city to city with their equipment and set up their stuff and have a makeshift disco. I have to admit, we were all a little wary about the whole idea, considering we still have yet to meet the "young people" of this town but to our surprise, teenagers from all kinds of surrounding areas came over for the night. We were told that there would be food before it started, so we went down early around eight and had a pretty good dinner of saucisson, mussels, and some kind of chicken wing. The "chicken" wing was pretty suspicious though- we think it was some other kind of bird. They eat all sorts of weird fowl we wouldn't consider edible. I'm thinking it was either a duck or a rabbit. You can never be sure though. As our religious studies professor would say at the sight of any rodent, "oOoo, it looks quite tasty!"

There were mostly only older people there during the dinner part, which we expected, and we met a few more of the townspeople. We tried our communication skills again. It was semi-successful, as always. However, I manage to make a fool of myself to one older lady. After asking me, "Qu'est-ce que comment vous trouvez Ambialet?" (how do you find Ambialet/how do you like it?) I was so excited that I fully recognized what she was asking me, that I quickly and stupidly replied, "Ah, oui! Je t'aime beaucoup!" Yeah, the most basic sentence and I managed to say "Ah, yes, I like you a lot!" instead of "Je l'aime beaucoup!"- "I like it a lot!" I had wondered why she gave me such a puzzled smile afterwards but I think she may have realized what I was getting at. Let's hope so at least.

Anyways, it was actually a lot of fun! There was probably 150 or so people there. The music was good, there was some American songs- Eye of the Tiger got us all up and dancing. They also played Cotton Eye Joe and just as we all got up, we got pulled into a train/London bridge thing which was pretty funny. The only down-side of the night would be the crazy man who was incredibly intoxicated and whose pants couldn't manage to stay above the plumber crack line.
