Craziest things

Well, I was quite astonished when I saw the new theme of the day "What's the craziest thing that's happened to you recently?". Not that I don't have any idea about it, but it could be a little be inconvenient to talk about that kind of crazy things... on a blog and in public!!! While travelling during 4 months in the Chilean summer, I think that many crazy things happened to me but after many years, the impact of crazy thing is changing and is not the same at all, probably craziest things happened to me when I was young than nowadays.

When I was like 6 years old, I went for the first time to Disneyland Paris, in the countryside, really close to the city of Paris. The craziest things probably happened there. When I went to the Haunted Mansion, I have been waiting really long with my family, the attraction place was crowded and it was in winter,close to Christmas, we were really freezing. When I was 6, I was really small, I don't say that today I'm not small but I was really really small for my age. We came in the mansion and we waited a few moments, then we get inside a big circular room, and the enormous door closed and we seemed to be rounded by walls and mirrors. I was pretty scared and getting nervous. We felt our bodies going down and in fact the circular room was an elevator and the walls were increasing indefinitively.

The evelator stopped going down. Nothing, nothing was happening. Seconds appeared being minutes and hours. Then people started whispering. And then, I shouted: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. A hand was on my shoulder. I turned back and I shouted louder: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! A giant black man was standing in front of me, with beautiful scarlet clothes, a big hat, and he was smiling at me with his white teeth and screamed "ahahahaha". It petrified me, and I tried to find my mum's hand, trying to hide behind her while he was smiling and the black man was trying to follow me. It's the first time of my life that I have been confronted to such a tall man and even if my best friend at school since I was 2 until 7 was black (adopted by a family of my neighbourhood), it was so massive that I believe it was the first time I had to become aware that our world was not crowded only by "white people" but also by people from all colours. We followed our way in the Mansion full of horrible and terrifying stuff, all more scarying than others.

When we went out of the House, I was still shocked and speaking and speaking about what happened when another "WAAAAA" and big hands tried to take me from my family. The black man was waiting for me at the way out of the Mansion and wanted to say me goodbye by a last surprise.... The day was absolutely awesome while really cold and I succeeded in getting inside a train attraction in a mountain absolutely amazing, seeing characters of Disney, participating on a little car's championship, assisting to the ball of the Beauty and the Beast, and at night to be at the Grand Parade. WOW, you made me remember of a forgotten memory of that part of that very special and crazy day.... Now I remember that during the Grand Parade where all lights were shining in the night, we get lost with my sister!!!! We were close to our parents, but there was such a crowd that with the movement of the crowd when the parade moved and got away, I found myself alone with my sister without our parents. For God's sake, we found quickly a security agent and we told him that we were lost since a few minutes. He spoke in his talkie-walkie and 3 minutes later our parents came back, we have just been lost like 7 minutes, but it was the end of a really crazy and funny day in my childhood.

I think it's the craziest thing and most interesting thing that really happen to me, I prefer to not talk about indecent propositions or about my travels with the Glaciar Perito Moreno, the end of the world in Ushuaia, my californian dream in Hollywood or in the Golden Gate Bridge, or the Corcovado or the Pão de Açucar in Rio de Janeiro, were one of the craziest things that happened to me recently, apart from this last week of classes, more than crazy, totally mad!!!!!!

See u later!!!
