Last night I was completely lost in the world and I ended up getting totally involved in the village festival, even though I hadn't planned it. The square was decorated with colored lights and lanterns that hung as if floating in the air. You could tell by the atmosphere that something special was happening. I let myself be carried away by the music of the orchestra, which had already managed to get the audience excited. People of all ages milled around near the stage, singing at the top of their lungs and dancing like there was no tomorrow. Around three o'clock, when the party should have died down, the energy was overflowing in the corners and the conga line was still circling around the square's fountain.

I'll be right with you...
