Gareth was visiting from Ulsan and on Sunday, I recieved a call from my Nigerian friend, Richard. He said that he was having his yearly community party at the Hamilton Hotel and that we were invited. Richard is the fella in the brown suit....
It was a really cool as it was carried out with complete Nigerian authentic customs when it came to starting and finishing the event.
I met another friend outside the Hamilton Hotel, Jason, a fella that I used to work with at Avalon in Bundang last year. He was invited, too! Chris met us there also. We all know Richard and he is such a nice man. Rob showed up after his pool league game, too.
It was a really cool as it was carried out with complete Nigerian authentic customs when it came to starting and finishing the event.
I have been trying to upload a video of the event with not much luck....gonna try and post it on youtube and then put it from there on my blog.....wish me luck....photos for now......
I hope this video comes out, as it shows the elder or leader of the tribe being escorted in to the hall to begin the proceedings. Age is of the utmost impotance to the Abiriba tribe and is still carried on today as it was and still is in Nigeria. I will do another blog soon and go into more detail about it, but all said and done it was a great couple of hours. Free food and drinks, too. Richard on his phone at the party!
