mexican fiesta!!!

a couple of sunday nights ago, carrie and tiff attended an all you can eat and drink party at this fabulously-decorated, hawaiian-themed restaurant that's nestled in with a group of other shops and restaurants in town. i didn't attend it due to money constraints, and was of course highly disappointed due to that fact .

at the party, the girls met some boys that would fit the bill perfectly for some of our friends from home. they party a lot, they're mature (some of the japanese are slow on the draw with that aspect), they can drink a hefty amount (not that that's a requirement; we just like to party for long hours on end, and we want our friends to party with us the whole time!), they're laid back, they like good music, it goes on and on.

so, tiff having a great idea, decided we needed a mexican fiesta dinner party due to the fact that these boys had never eaten mexican food! oh dear - how can that be!??! so, the next friday night, we gathered at tiff's apartment and ate and boogied down till the morning hours. . .

we had it all, cheese dip (kind of an americanized version), ground beef tacos, chicken enchilados, guacamole, and that's right, margaritas. we speedily went through two big bottles of tequila; the boys enjoyed it immensely. and i guess the fact that we started doing regular tequila shots first and then tequila body shots next - thanks carrie - only sped the process

the night started innocently enough with us gathering around the table, munching on mexican


i was pleased everyone assumed the correct taco eating pose - head tilted, cradling their taco in their hands delicately as to not break or spill any morsels of their own, individual mexican heaven


manabu needed a little work on his positioning, but it worked for him




and the dancing began!


and posing


and more posing


tiff got into her element, practicing martial arts


carrie very much enjoying her introduced tequila body shots


we got a little loud towards the the later hours, and we were worried about the neighbors. the boys practicing being quiet, in case the actual need arose


hopefully, new friendships have sprung from this fruitful, highly enjoyable evening
