Remember, remember the 5th of November.
Like it couldn't be any better after a week of deep shit school and half a week of extraordinary good school milk, Wednesday, the 5th of November, we began a train trip of about 60 minutes, no further than Ideciu. Actually, the station is called Idiciu, a fact I didn't manage to figure out, not even after three times of visiting the nice, calm, silent, warm and cold, fun and even funnier, secret XI-B's getaway.
More about the 5th of November you should know by yourself if you're English, from the internet or other information sources if you're from the English speaking countries around the world, or don't give a damn about and less if you're from Romania. But, for the Englishmen is a really big holiday. Apart from the historical meaning, Bonfire night also represents the day of Democracy in England. And I think also in Scotland and that good-for-nothing Wales.
The fact is that on the 5th of November (geez I'm repeating myself) 1605, a group of catholic freaks, led by a guy named Guy Fawkes, had in plan to burn down the Houses of Parliament in London, with the Royal Family inside. I have to mention that the King (can't remember H.R.M.'s name) was protestant, maybe even Anglican if not Lutheran. But, Guy had been caught by some other guys, and he didn't manage to set on fire under the Parliament. Because he was judged and convicted for treason (d'ooh), he had his ass burned on a stick. After being tortured. And poked in the eye. And I think that's all about that specific day. Since then, it's a tradition to make a bonfire or a campfire or whatsoever on bonfire night. A friend of mine(ours) told us that on that night, if you take a flight over the countryside of England you will see the ground very similar to the sky, filled with little or bigger lights, and a lot of smoke.
Enough talking about history, what happened happened.
Now, recent history, meaning yesterday! We took a train to Ideciu, there we met our friend from England who's party we were going to join. We met his wife (am I wrong?) on the train, and we spoke about tons of stuff with her, including harming animals and teachers. Then, we put the wine on the fire, we let it boil a little, added spices, as “scortisoara, nucsoara, cuisoare” and transformed it into “vin fiert”. Then, as the night fell down we put the potatoes in the fire, raw as they were, then we ate them. With margarine, and zakuska and bread. We had a loooong talk, we had a great time, great laughing and more or less good jokes. Our hosts managed to get another animal off the streets, which I named Gerry, but in the end its name was still unknown. We almost lost the train back home, but at the end of the day turned out well, because even if we bought tickets for second class, we traveled in first class =D. We fell asleep on the train, we took pictures which I hope I'll upload soon on the blog and we got scared when we saw a station on which was written “Targu Mures”, but fortunately it was the wrong one, so when we got off the train, we did it in the proper station. The way back home was simply boring, so I shouldn't have mentioned it. I got home, I fell asleep, again, and in the morning, when the clock rang, I was completely wasted.
Nice day yesterday. That's what I'm going to say. Everyday.
P.S. : in the picture you can see that guy...aaa... Guy Fawkes.
And in the end, a little song I found on the net:
Guy,Guy,Guy,
Poke him in the eye,
Put him on the bonfire,
Let him die!
