Noche de karaoke y Sábado en León

Friday night it was time to sing karaoke, which is the big karaoke night in León (seriously, it's karaoke in all the bars around here) And guess what, I sang in SPANISH for the first time. And this is the song I sang (click on the link) : Bulería .

Silvia and Elin sang a Shakira song. You can see the sweet sugar pies singing on the picture ;)


Saturday I went out with Carolina and her friends. A birthday party for her lovely friend Flor. We went to a local place with great Spanish music all night. We ate some light food, drank some "Nica libres" , and had some really good conversations. They are so beautiful and warm, and I find it very strange that all of them are single.

On the info meeting they told us that 70% of the women in Nicaragua are single. My next question is, what's causing this? I am trying to find out what this is all about, is it something cultural? Is it true or a myth that "Nica guys" can't stick to one woman at a time? Is infidelity a bigger problem here than at home?

Sunday I was actually intervied by a woman from New York doing her thesis about foreigners in Nicaragua. Asking me of my opinions around the social differences here and in my country. How I think women and men look at me here. She aslo asked me of my view of having a relationship down here, and if it was most probable that it was with a local, somebody from my course, or another foreigner (from another country). And what would be the main differences between dating a guy from Nicaragua and Norway ect. It was interesting to reflect around her questions. And also the fact that many boys around here are "waiting" for us. They know that a big group of Norwegians are coming twice a year, and maybe look at us as a "easy target". Some guys here even speak some Norwegian, and in my opinion that is a turn off. It means that he has been with one, or many Norwegian girls. So girls, watch out!

Anyway, have to go to bed. Hasta pronto!!!
