thanks god the spaniards are in town!

Kigali life for expats is pretty easy going, once you accept that you will pay more for everything, regardless of what it is
the different nationalities present show their country characteristics in a rather amusing way
so depending on who organises a 'soiree', this will be civilised, around a table with a bottle of wine and conversations ranging from 'what you do' to the traditional politics of this country or any other....nothing against it....just not the weekend!
this saturday, we are invited to some pre-party drinks; four of us arrive, ready for the techno party afterwards but find ourselves with chill music, a beautiful lay out table with very good food on offer and some very young people around a table discussing serious issues......gosh!!
true to culture and upbringing we change the music, get dancing and somehow animate the gathering...eventually moving everybody to the real party and proceeding to do exactly the same (except for the music, which was already excellent)
so more and more often i hear, 'thanks god the spaniards are in town'!
