The golfeados....were interesting. I was confused for the most part. They were like cinnamon rolls (minus the rolls) and white cheese to the top, and something that looked, felt and tasted like apple to the bottom (it was something with sugar cane..I can't remember...). I took a cautious bite...it was soft from the cheese...somewhat firm in the middle (like a pastry) and soft and sticky from the sugar cane/apple to the bottom....
The taste was even more confusing....it was sweet for the most part and had a salty taste from the cheese.
My mum liked it more than me, so after I took a few more bites, I passed it to her (all cool and smooth-like).
After, I was ready for something to get rid of the confusion in my mouth, so I took some Bs F (Bolivares Fuertes), and headed for the counter...I stopped before I reached the counter and realized that I would have to speak spanish to ask for what I wanted.
At that point, William and Iris were encouraging me to get it myself, so I managed to make it through without embarassing myself too much.
When I came back sucessful, they applauded me and I felt somewhat proud of myself that I was able to use a bit of survival skills.
We decided to split up, Iris and my mum left (of course) to check out clothes and jewelry (of course)...and me and William left to check out everything else.
I think William likes messing with me because when we passed some ladies (in their mid-twenties, most being attractive for the most part) spraying samples of perfume and cologne, he stopped by one of them spraying cologne and told her something too soft for me to hear, she offered to give me a sample, so I thought," Why not ? " .....after she did, he told me to tell her what I think... ?! It was a little awkward just standing there, looking at each other, not knowing what to say until he finally told me how to say, " I like the scent. " (or something along those lines anyway)...she said something in english, probably wasn't important because I can't remember....
We went on checking out some of the new cameras, dvds, churros.....normal stuff (lol), all the while William was telling me that since no one knows me in Venezuela and that I don't speak spanish, that I can afford to make a few "mistakes"...
When we were on the 3rd floor (I think)....I saw a music store I wanted to check out, so I directed William towards it.
I saw some bands I recognized, My Chemical Romace, Paramore and Metallica..surprisingly, they had a lot in stock...
A sales clerk (in her early twenties, with long brown hair and really nice eyes) started hovering over me, I started to move to the other aisle but William stopped her and said something in spanish that was too quick and too soft for me to understand.
She turned her attention to me and explain that the aisle I was just on mainly had bands by english-speaking people (Paramore, etc.)....and the other had a combination of english and spanish (...or something)...she asked me which one I was more interested in....I turned to William and he told me to give her an answer.....I thought about some of the "mistakes" he outlined and bravely said,"Es usted muy bonita" (translated : "You're very beautiful")....she started gushing, blushing and giggling while another clerk seemed to want to know what was going on, she managed to say,"Gracias." (translated : "Thank you/Thanks") between the giggles....then....she still wanted an answer to her original question, I wasn't ready for the other "mistake" William told me about..so I just said that I was more interested in the english bands (through a manner of pointing and using words I was somewhat familiar with).....she handed me some CDs by AC/DC, another by MCR and one by a band I haven't heard of....
I asked her if there was any Limp Bizkit and she seemed happy to show me (as if she was interested in it as well)....I didn't recognize any of the songs (I only know 3 songs tbh) so I handed it back to her, she put her arm around me to direct me to some more CDs..I could tell that William was smiling at that....
I felt ready to move on, not wanting to spoil the "relationship" I had with the sales clerk, plus although I knew some of the bands, I didn't know alot of the songs...and money was kind of short...so I tried to tell her, " Thanks, that's all for now. " but she didn't understand, so she led me to William and asked me to tell him what I wanted....
Things got a little awkward when he thought I was talking about a band by that name ("Thanks, That's All For Now" ? Might not be a bad band...)....after he understood, he told me to say something that meant," Thanks, I'll be back.".....I repeated and after a few bad tries, she understood....she giggled again softly and we left...as I looked back, I saw her approaching the other sales clerk (epic gossip)....
The rest of the time at the mall was pretty much quiet.... we met up with Iris and my mum, had a hotdog at "Ball And Dog" (which menu comprises of "Baby Dog", "Big Baby", "Big Dog", "Red Dog", "Big Red", "Turkey Dog ", "Tremendog" and a few others), then we looked around at a few more stores and finally we left at about 7:30pm....
Can't wait for Colonia Tovar tomorrow....maybe I'll make a few more "mistakes" along the way....
