Maybe we have discussed before that Angolans like to party. And yes they do, A LOT. And that means you will hear one of your neighbours play party music all night long 9pm to 7am and the other neighbours also play other party music all night long. You would say that it sounds fun. I would say yes you are right... unless when you are not invited.

It seems like a common practice here in Luanda to do that, and no one can do anything like reporting to police or so. There is simply not such system and looks like it is not part of the culture to report to police when your neighbours are noisy during the night. It is just a common practice and of course the only thing you can do is to accept and appreciate.

We are so blessed (or cursed, in some nights) that we are surrounded by fun-loving neighbours that have lots and lots of relatives and friends. There are always parties with DJ's and complete sound system. Again, by saying complete sound system here means festival or mini-rave party scale. Mind you, this does not happen every 6 months or so, but rather close to every 2 weeks in average. We are so used to it that everytime this particular neighbour having a party we move our bed to the living room since our bedroom is too close to their house (like 100m distance) we can even feel the vibration of the soundwave in our room as if we are sleeping in a bajaj!

Today is Saturday and is a typical one, really.

Just like many weeks before, this week has been quite tough, and I seriously need some relaxing by doing yoga practice to cure my tensed head. Aparently it is never a good idea to plan to do some meditative yoga movements in Saturdays if you live in Luanda as music next door has been played since 5pm for a sound check... dum dum dum dum.. And so i did it.. yoga with disco music, how cool is that! :)

And yeah, now is 1am just after midnight.. these lovely neighbours are still having fun outside with their lovely loud music and i am in front of my laptop writing a post for my blog, oh oh what the he*l am i doing??!!
