This time of year is Carnival! The Carnival Season is a holiday period during the two weeks before the traditional Christian fasting of Lent. Now this wasn't exactly on the radar back in oz (except perhaps for mardi gras which I think happens at the same time), over here in the northern hemisphere its big news. My friend Monica's son Eirik went off to a party last weekend dressed as a football player for a Carnival party! And a lot of schools have a dress up day.
So I've been invited to a carnival party tomorrow night, hosted by a friend from Joel's work, Sofia who is from Argentina. I asked whether I should wear my sequinned bikini and feather head-dress, but I've been instructed to save that for a regular saturday night out in Stavanger.
I will post after and tell you all how it goes - I think its just an excuse for a girls night and some traditional sweets.
