It is hard to believe this is a country that was not a country only 42 years ago. It is a teenage country trying to act like an adult, but is so spoiled with riches that it is hard to mature properly.
I call this place random. Everything seems without order or purpose and yet it manages to function.
The one thing that is not random is the amount of celebration that goes into their National Day. The celebrations go on for about a week and two days are the actual holiday itself.
Last week, we had celebrations at the university. Then, we were given a much appreciated four-day weekend!
Although I generally hide inside and avoid being anywhere outside at night during these days, I can appreciate their love for their country and desire to party it up. π
