Hash Christmas Party – Thursday 7 December 2006

Tonight Chris and I went to Ma’adi (the suburb of Cairo where ALL the expats seem to live). The Hash was having its Christmas party at the local rugby club. It was a good night, but not very Christmassy. I expected there to be decorations and lots of people carrying on in a Christmassy kind of way. Instead it was a bunch of people standing round a basementy type clubhouse talking amongst themselves… not much carry on at all really… We arrived about 9pm and left just after midnight.

It was a good night. We were talking to a few of the other hashers… a couple of the hashers came up to me asking me if my name was Lindsey. I said no, Lindsey is a kiwi with black hair… this happened about 3 times until one of them said ‘Are you sure you’re not Lindsey?’ I told him I was fairly confident that I wasn’t Lindsey.

We were talking to one of the Hashers (AKA Transvestite) he is a Hare for tomorrow’s run. We said that we’d signed up to hare next week and weren’t really sure what we were getting ourselves in for. He gave us a bit of a run down on what we’d have to do and then told us that we’d get ‘Named’ after we’d hared. I didn’t realise that the naming was because you’d hared… I’m a little less excited about volunteering now… could be dangerous :)
