People are sex starved here, so weddings are a big deal. For the two getting married; they’ll finally, at the age of 28 get to ‘do it’ (well 14 for the girl). And for all the other young people, because they could meet someone at these meat markets with whom they might get married, and then be able to ‘do it’ with (or more convincingly, escape the fear of bitter poverty with). And the old people who are marrying off their kids, and can now stop ‘doing it.’ It’s an exciting time. But one of the garish little touches that I love is covering the apartment block you live in with gigantic fairy lights when there’s an impending wedding. It doesn’t look half bad, but I don’t know how anyone manages to get any sleep at night.
