So last night I went to the park for another night of wacky festival fun. The main event was a big prize giveaway with various competitions. The most.. interesting one was the woman ogling contest.
Because you see here, men have ogling women down, according to every single female I have talked to. Not only with the staring, whistling, and yelling stuff, but far more. The tuk-tuks, for example, all have these little car alarm horns that they somehow make do the exact "whistle at a girl" noise and so they all lean out the side and stare and make the noise over and over when there's a remotely attractive girl around.
Anyway. The woman ogling contest involved six guys from the audience who had to compete to see who could ogle the women the best, and participating were the normal teenagers, an old guy who had to ask permission from his wife to play, and a 12 year old with a really high pitched voice. It was judged by strength of the audience whistling. The 12 year old won.
Also I am tired of walking by the goat farm every morning on the way to gym. This guy and his son set up a whole bunch of goats on the side of a church and they sell the milk to people. Literally, they squirt out a cup and hand it to someone. It must be really popular, because I have to dodge goat crap all the time.
One of the better tales of Guatemala I heard last night after the woman ogling contest in a bar with some other students who were volunteering in a hospital is how they do vaccinations. They get a cooler full of vaccine, a couple armfuls of syringes, and walk up and down the highways stopping in random ravines and slums to give kids shots. Sounds like a good time. They said they see a lot of depressing stuff, and I can imagine it.
