Waiting for a Wide Horse Sky. Elaine Kennedy

we chorused.

      Our excitement built up throughout the night. The uni students spoke very good English and were fun to be with. We practiced the Macarena on the dormitory rooftop. Later on, while sitting under the stars on Haeundae Beach everyone was dragged up to stand on the esplanade wall as the request for the Macarena sounded out from the hotel. In a long line of friends and strangers we quite happily made fools of ourselves.

      Song offered to walk back to our hotel before he and Amos caught a taxi to his parents’ house. He walked slowly with me behind the others and we talked like old friends.
