[English] Tea Time

**JokeNowis** · 26/06/13, 21:28

Féria...
It's so hard to describe it, moreover in English.
It's a south French custom (from Spain), in a festive spirit around Corridas and bulls.
The goal is to do party, to watch corridas and the Pégoulade, to hear some music groups, to eat paëllas, to drink, to dance, to enjoy the moment.
A Féria is out of time !

So, to resume if your mind is losts in the fog -> Google is your friend

[if some people didn't understood...YES i'm a great Féria Addict ! ]

No one Féria without Sangria !
Nîmois' blood is sangria ;P

So, we won't debate around this subject (or in French), 'cause it's one of the most sensitive i know.
You're against hunting animals, and i totally agree.
I'm a for the show, for the technic, even if Torero has to hurt and kill bulls.
But see this animal suffering in the arena, i don't like so much.
I'll never forget the first execution i saw...

**DavyBZH** · 26/06/13, 22:40

Yes it's awful, a beautifull animal killed like that, i can't. It's nice to see people in red and white. Why theses colors? Is there any significance?

**JokeNowis** · 26/06/13, 22:52

Bull is killed after the last fight of his life, with lot of respect ; as a samuraï who would lost a fight/battle.
You have to know that sometimes...he win.
It's not easy to understand for an anti-corridas, i know it(i don't judge you, don't worry

).

Aaaaaah, Red & White shirts !
Bandanas, tee-shirt, pants...
I don't remember why those colors.
They're not Nîmes colors (Green & Red), maybe those of Camargue, i don't know (shame on me !!)

**DavyBZH** · 26/06/13, 22:59

No problem i understand, in my area there are traditions too and i don't know why they are wear this or that. I am from brittany that's all i don't speak breton or gallo, i don't play breton music and i don't know how to dance breton dance (shame on me too

)

Hmmm...i learnd that for Cuba you dance on a circle, and Porto on a cross.

Hey, we all are here to improve us in English, so don't be disgusted

Yeah, the video is quite humouristic and special, is for that i like it ^^

I agree. Some traditions have to be revise, in my opinion. But change the people thinking is a difficult thing to deal with.
The debate is still open, and since long time now i think.

For me, the fact is: did the bull choose it himself ?

I pass a long time with pro-corridas and anti-corridas people.
And you can imagine when they are together, in the same place, talking about that

But man... What are you doing ?
Who will teach us the breton dance now if you can't? ^^

**DavyBZH** · 27/06/13, 10:25

I don't like that music so i don't want to dance it.

Where i live it's not like the west of brittany, here few people speak breton

**JokeNowis** · 27/06/13, 11:38

It doesn't matter, we want to see you dance on this music =P

Ok I have to clarify some things here! Coming from the "far" west of Brittany I can tell you that only some old people speak breton (and those who are in special school). I don't speak either, nor dance. But the "fest-noz" are quite popular that's true, and during these nights you can see all kind of people dancing

It's not my cup of tea but it can be fun!

Sorry my roots are speaking for me

**DavyBZH** · 27/06/13, 11:53

I lived in Morlaix (Montroulez in breton) for a while and there i knew lof of people who speak breton (old and young). Yes "fest-noz" or "fest-deiz". I have a friend who plays music for a bagad, he plays bagpipe : the bagad of Landerneau exactly.

We have a hymn too : https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9...c#.UcwMpJwSoik

And a famous bagad, the bagad of Lan bihoue, it's the army https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIznjBGSGnQ

Ho god... I think that we'll remember that !

**Wild Rose** · 28/06/13, 14:10

a few details...
PVT aka WHV
Bretagne aka (French) Brittany
Breton as language stand as breton, you might have to precise it is a French dialect connected to Celtic (gaellic, spoken in Ireland and Scotland, maybe Welsh).

For feria fan that does not want to see the death of the bull, Camargue offers a nice alternative known as scrappette. The idea is to grab with a comb like tool a pompom located on the head of the bull. Bulls with their pompoms are freed in the streets of ste maries de la mer. When and if the bull lost its pompom, it loses and is removed from the game, and freed back in the swamps a little later after a little one to one with a veterinarian.

**JokeNowis** · 28/06/13, 14:17

Oh, nice sum up =)
I'd like to add the unforgettable "Course Camarguaise" which is a good entertainment too
