Jello Wrestling in Sault Ste. Marie

KM 1720

City: Sault Ste. Marie

Story:
I got in Sault-Ste-Marie, also called The Soo, around 8h30 pm, I drove a bit around town, to see how it looks like, hum well, it's not that great, it's industrial, grey, seems to have a lot of poor people, I cannot say that I was impress, my first impression was not good.

So I went to the hi-hostel (auberge de jeunesse) over there and well I had to convince myself to actually just park my car there, it didnt looks like a safe neighborhood, and obviously not a safe place to leave my car all night. But anyway I did, since I was there, and since I'm doing this trip to live some adventures... I got into that hostel and talked with the manager over there, went to see the room, seems ok, it was a big room divided into 2 rooms within which you have 2 single bed and also a bathroom.

So I took a bed for the night, it was 23$, and it actually a bed, 'cuz since it's a hostel, sometimes and most of the times actually you're not alone in your room, they rent every bed to different person, in my room was already someone named Winslow, a nice guy from New York, he's actually doing the opposite of what I'm doing, he flew from New York to Vancouver last May and he's going east, hitch-hiking all across Canada, staying couple days here and there in every Canadian city. Quite a big trip eh!

After I took my shower, eat, etc, and I asked the manager at the hostel if there was anything going on tonight in Soo. He told me that the place to be on a sunday night was the East Gate Bar just besides the hostels, all right then, East Gate it'll be. Got there around 11h30 pm, maybe they were 100 persons at that time, so I just sit and take couple beers at the bar, talk to the people there, around midnight maybe we were 200, and that was probably the most people we were, yeah, around 200.

But around 12h30 pm they start having a JELLO wrestling, yep, a pool full of red jello in which girls from the crowd fight, first time I was seeing that, it's hum, I'd say interesting in is weird kinda way. They were also fight between boys and girls, but mostly girls vs girls.

Anyway it was fun, the people over there were nice, friendly, and the girls are hum, yeah the girls, they have pretty face for sure and I saw 2 or 3 very beautiful ones, however, and I dont want to be mean or anything but they're mostly overweight.
