Splooooosh!

On Saturday night, I went to a couple of more pavilions with some folks.
It was the last night of Folklorama.

We went to the 9:45 show of the Scandinavian pavilion.
In celebration of Hans Christian Anderson, the theme this year was fairy tales.
Titled "Once Upon A Time".
They danced a bunch and sang a bunch. Most of which you really couldn't make out.
It had it's amusing moments, such as the robbers of cardamom city or somesuch.
The kids were singing, attempting to really. They were giggling throughout the performance as they were handed more and more ridiculous things.
There was a rat thing that Pslam was convinced was a demon and that Constantine was gonna show up and send it back to hell.
Other than that, it was alright.
The chowder was good. The deserts, not so much.

We checked out the cultural displays before hand. The was Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. And I'm so missing one here.
We checked them all out. Heckled and protested at the Danish one. Telling them off and letting them know that it's our island.

After that we went to the Portuguese pavilion.
It was the only one that was within range that we could get to before the last show of the night.
11pm the show started. After midnight it finished.
3 or 4 different groups doing there dances with 2 songs thrown in between.
Nothing spectacular really.
Dances kinda were simliar.
Do love those castanets though.

There was one thing other than the castanets though, that caught my eye.
The theme was something to do with villages, I wasn't really listening.

Anyways, at the back of the stage there was a cutout thing.
You know, one of those boards with a picture painted on with people. The faces and sometimes hands cutout so that you can put yours in them. Ya know!?!

Well, at the Portuguese pavilion, there was a guy hiding out behind the cutout and for every other song or so, he would stick his face into the guys headspace and sing into the mike.
This was followed by him sticking his head into the womans headspace and singing in a high pitched woman imitation voice.
Humourous indeed.
This went on all night long.
Good times.
Reminded me of the guy from Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. He was the guy in the town (windfall island) that had the battleship type game.
Good times indeed.
