Chocolate icecream and Onions

Yesterday, the Samba came to Scotland. Well actually, it was a Glasgow group doing the Samba (do you do the samba? or play the samba?), so it was pretty Scottish to begin with. However, for many like me this was the first time they had seen Samba, and it was pretty good! I tried editing the videos I took to make one video out of all, but the software I have seems to be as good and fast as doing it as I am at translating from Mandarin to Malay. So you'll have to bear with me. The videos are pretty long and the sound quality is not that good, but you do get a basic idea.

The Samba:


After that it was the turn of some weird Martial Arts groups to display their act. Their performance left many with open mouths, but that was because they couldn't figure what exactly they were trying to do.

The "Highest" form of Martial Arts:


Though thankfully, the weed wore off eventually and they ended up doing some pretty cool things.

After that it was the turn to put one of the burning questions of life at rest. What does rap done to Samba sound like? I'm not kidding. Though the audio is not too good, and the guy rapped in a Scottish accent(of course), you can still get a basic idea. Honestly, it was much better than I expected.

The Samba Rap:


Since this night was turning out to be such an insightful one, it was time to answer another one of life's burning questions: What does the castle look like at midnight? You see, SEP is a true learning experience:P. Why we went there I don't know, it just happened, but it looked quite nice, and after a few attempts at photography it was time to head back home.
